Raising four girls, I have to emphasize humility often! Doing a homework assignment..."wow! I did perfect on that question. I am the smartest!" Twirling around like a ballerina in the living room..."Look at me mom! Aren't I the best ballerina you've ever seen?" Looking in the mirror while doing their makeup (ever so lovely)... "Wow! I am the best at makeup, ever!" Or my favorite... "Look mom, I did something really nice for sissy. I'm such a great sister."

Don't get me wrong, all of that is adorable and sweet. The confidence they have is great and I won't take that away! However, what message am I sending to them by letting them feel like they are better than everyone else?
