Its not an easy task at all when it has to do
with raising a girl child in the Home and your
eviroment, sometimes it could be so
challenging that you hardly trust her with
anyone except yourself. I'll be Sharing Tips on
raising a girl child without much headaches.
★
1. Teach the boys to protect and defend. We
want our daughter’s femininity to be
something that’s held in special honor, not
contempt. Talk around the dinner table, for
example, doesn’t need to belittle anyone’s
gender. Putdowns disparaging “Men!
” (complete with sigh and eyeball roll) or
making fun of a crying girl don’t reflect God’s
passion for unity. They don’t convey His
creation of male and female in God’s image.
During playtime, my daughter doesn’t usually
mind being the one who’s chased as “the
enemy!” But when things start to get lopsided
and she’s consistently not on their side, I ask
the boys to switch things up a little. Lessons
like these seem to teach the boys about
compassion and about defending those who
are weaker—or just different. I want to teach
the heart attitude of manners—respect— by
ingraining habits of chivalry for their sister.
That might involve lifting heavy items for her,
opening the door for her, comforting her, or
just listening to her. Hopefully this will
translate into their relationships with other
women, all the way to marriage. Our daughter
learns that she’s worthy of respect and honor,
no matter her level of dominance or strength
—or her gender. 2. Teach both to come into
each other’s world. If my daughter wants to
wrestle with the boys, we ask her not to ruin
their fun by being oversensitive and
melodramatic; she needs to be ready to play
a little rougher. But of course, the boys need
to treat her with special honor, too, and not
body-slam the poor kid. Similar
to point number one, these cross-gender
relations are training my children to love
people who are different than they are. It
also helps them appreciate how others are
made—and each individual’s reflection of
God. 3. Give her some special girl time. A
thoughtful friend of mine recently threw a
“princess party” at her “castle.” The little girls
were mailed large invitations which were, of
course, pink and purple. They wore their
princess getup, clomping around in plastic
shoes. Then they frosted cookies, colored
princess pictures, chose prizes from a
treasure box, and enjoyed a real-live tea party
with their moms and grandmas. My daughter
couldn’t stop talking about it! Maybe this
time for you two involves doing nothing girly
whatsoever. Or maybe it’s just going out on a
date to get food she likes, go shopping, or
see a chick flick. But the main idea here is to
celebrate her femininity and uniqueness in
ways that are memorable and meaningful.
Communicate that she’s not alone, and that
her femaleness is not just an obstacle that
isolates her from the rest of your family. 4.
Give her some everyday girl time. For us, this
includes seeking out books from the library
that are geared for girls, coloring paper dolls
together, giving her some special space to
play with her girl toys, or brushing her hair
and chatting. If your girl’s not girly, I gently
suggest that you don’t force her to be
someone she’s not, but rather just help her
to feel comfortable with who God has made
her to be. You can also spend some time
focusing on what it means to be a woman of
God—one who loves a husband, children,
and/or other people well. If she’s older, give
her some time to talk about whatever she’s
going through—to verbally process her world.
Without amplifying whatever drama she’s
experiencing (or conveying) and overanalyzing
it to death, help her walk through life. Again,
the idea is not to pamper her so that she gets
self-focused. It’s just to counter some of her
isolation, communicate value, and appreciate
how she’s wired. 5. Be intentional about
helping her get together with female friends,
whether it’s play dates or a night at
Grandma’s or—for older girls—a slumber
party while the guys go out with Dad. If she’s
older, she might enjoy a mentor who will
have fun with her, give her another female
perspective and role model, and nurture her
as a young woman of God. 6. Learn how she’s
different. Authors like Michael Gurian have
written fascinating material on the different
ways that boys and girls learn, develop, and
process information. It may help you to have
well-placed expectations on your daughter’s
development as it relates to her gender—and
differs from her brothers. 7. Make the most
of your own relationship. A mother-daughter
relationship may not replace a sibling
relationship—and it’s healthy to allow other
girls to play the “bosom buddy” role in her
life. But I’ve witnessed some beautiful
connections with “only daughters” and their
moms that are as unique as the women who
form them. Pray for God to draw you and
your daughter’s relationship into a close,
healthy place that honors Him. Some quick
ideas: Find a project or a craft you love to do
together. Sign up for a class together. Serve
together—maybe you’ll teach a VBS class
together, or sort through clothes at a shelter,
or make a meal for people just out of the
hospital. Pray with her. Pick out a Bible study
to do together, or memorize some verses
about real beauty. Take a road trip together.
I’ve observed how God has used the women I
know who have grown up with brothers. He
has carefully crafted plans for these wo Its

I’ve observed how God has used the women I
know who have grown up with brothers. He
has carefully crafted plans for these women
who understand men and work with them as
close companions. They are wonderful assets
in the workplace and at home, and many of
them have a beautiful vigor in their brand of
femininity. God has designed my family in the
way it would best function for his honor. My
daughter isn’t disadvantaged because she’s
the only girl. Nope—she’s packing a secret
weapon. Kindly let me know if this article has
