“In a world where you can be anything, be kind.” ~Unknown “Girls are mean!” I nodded knowingly as my boss struggled to explain the difference between raising boys and girls.
I couldn’t speak to raising boys, but I remembered all too well what it was like when my daughters were growing up. Girls traveled in packs, always with a leader at the helm.
And almost every week, one of the lesser-ranked members was cast out, ostracized from the group. More often than not, it was one of my daughters.
I distinctly recall their heartbreak—the kind of deep, inconsolable sorrow that only a child can feel when their world is upended.
