She told me once that boys don't like that. I said, "Then find one who's stronger. You don't have to care what boys think, just the one you pick. A strong boy, or a good one, will like that you're strong."

RD, that's amazing. You are encouraging her to be herself, and to not dumb herself down just to be liked by boys. What great parenting!!!
