    Congratulations on raising a self-assured, confident young lady. She sounds delightful (most of the time!).

    Yes! How funny! I agree entirely, especially since it shows she has spirit and determination- two essential traits necessary for succeeding in this world especially as a woman.

    My dd isn't afraid of anyone it seems. When my mum tried to quietly tell her off, and even I was getting scared, she goes 'talk to yourself nana' and my mum burst out laughing and said 'she's got pluck which is what she needs!'

    I always tell dd to talk to me like a normal person, and not scream or tantrum, and when she does, she pretty much gets her own way on everything (within reason). It makes for a happy home I think.

    I totally agree. Well done! There's a difference between a self assured chi,d raised in a happy healthy environment with parents she trusts rather than fears and "negative behaviour" she's well within her right as a human being IMO to speak up when she's not happy.
