[blparent] she's finally learning

[Marsha Drenth]

Little girls, teenager girls, and grown women all need the validation from their father. Those same little girls, teenagers, and grown women, need it from their mothers too. But how a little girl or teenager, interacts with her father can determine how they interact with men for the rest of their lives.  

If you live in a busy area with lots of cars, you should be worried. But if its not busy, then just teach her to be cautious and aware of her surroundings. If you know the people in your area, they can help you now look for your daughter, not that they were not before, but that she is now on a bike. 

Its a little nerve wrecking to let our kids go out into that big scary world.
