So I made a comment asking about how the ladies here at FDS talk and educate the young women and girls in our lives through the FDS standards and practices. It was encourage I make a full discussion post where the ladies here could comment on how they’ve been nurturing those in their lives about what we discuss here. On my end, I have a 7 month year old niece, and 3 very close girl cousins (ages range from 8-11.)The way I’ve been trying to set a good example is:

1: Becoming a high value woman through actions. Besides my sister and her husband the little cousins I have do NOT have a good role model in their life. They see everything so if I can act like a HVW, I’m hoping they’ll see it.

2: Always letting them know they can talk to me if they don’t want to talk to mom. My aunt was a great advocate for me growing up and I know I can trust her with anything. So I want to set that example, but let them know they don’t have to come to me — it’s entirely their personal choice.

So ladies of FDS, what are your tips and techniques for promoting the standards and practices of FDS to those in your life?
