With Princess about to start her senior year in high school and beginning to visit colleges, and Sports Girl beginning her high school career, I find these tips and lessons for daughters spot on.

A few important rules to teach your daughter(s): 
• Travel light through life. Keep only what you need 
• It’s okay to cry when you’re hurt. It’s also okay to smash (some) things; but, wash your face, clean your mess, and get up off the floor when you’re done. You don’t belong down there 
• If you’re going to curse, be clever. If you’re going to curse in public, know your audience 
• Seek out the people and places that resonate with your soul 
• Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should 
• 5-second rule. It’s just dirt. There are worse things in a fast food cheeseburger 
• You are a woman, you do not need a man, but you can absolutely enjoy your life with a good one
• Happiness is not a permanent state. Wholeness is. Don’t confuse these 
• Never walk through an alley alone
• Be less sugar, more spice, and only as nice as you’re able to without compromising yourself.
• Can’t is a cop-out. Totally unacceptable and doesn’t belong in your vocabulary.
• Hold your heroes to a high standard. Be your own hero.
• If you can’t smile with your eyes, don’t smile. Insincerity is nothing to aspire to.
• Never lie to yourself.
• Your body, your rules.
• If you have an opinion, you better know why.
• Practice your passions. 
• Ask for what you want. The worst thing they can say is no. 
• Wish on stars and dandelions, then get to work to make them happen.
• Stay as sweet as you are.
• Fall in love often. Particularly with ideas, art, music, literature, food and far-off places.
• Say Please, Thank You, and Pardon Me, whenever the situation warrants it.
• Reserve “I’m sorry” for when you truly are.
• Naps are for grown-ups, too.
• Question everything, except your own intuition. 
• You have enough. You are enough.
• You are amazing! Don't let anyone ever make you feel you are not. If someone does....walk away. You deserve better.
• No matter where you are, you can always come home.
• Be happy and remember your roots, family is EVERYTHING.
• Say what you mean and mean what you say.
• Be kind; treat others how you would like them to treat you.
• If in doubt, remember Whose daughter you are and straighten your crown. 👑 ❤️

It is important that a parent raises his children in a moral way. The parent is the first teacher that the child gets, so he or she, is the one responsible for the child's growth. Of course, there is a lot of pressure that falls on the shoulders of the parent, but that is just part of being a parent. If you cannot be a responsible parent, then it would be best if you do not become one at all.
