Ban Bossy – Empower Girls

Posted on the 12 March 2014 by Suzanne Robinson @mummy2twinsblog

Is one of your kids or both forthright? Leads and is assertive? Mine are. I am making sure that I don’t say that the kids are bossy but I do make sure to get rid of  bad behavior when it occurs (or at least try). Being assertive is one thing and leading is great, however being rude and hurtful is not acceptable.

I do agree that we label and tell girls in particular that they are bossier than boys. Do you find this? Did this impact you when you were at school or the workplace? I think this video is a great eye opener. Do you think if you were not told you were bossy your life might have been different? Maybe a CEO? Or a global entrepreneur earning billions? Well you never know right?
