Tell her who she really is—generous, observant, smart, loving, curious, energetic, creative, articulate, compassionate, talented, etc. Compliment her in ways that remind her she is more: “I see the way you include those kids who want to play. You are so kind and compassionate.” Or “You are an incredible artist. You have a gift that speaks to people’s hearts.” Or anything else that helps her see that her purposes extend far beyond how well she decorates the earth.
