Yes, we have another princess at our house to join our little Brielle in playtime. Sofia the First made her debut not too long ago, and her adventures can be seen each Friday morning on the Disney Channel. Sofia is a unique princess, as she teaches all your little princesses in training how to be beautiful on the inside, as well as beautiful on the outside. She has the same 3 fairies to train her as Sleeping Beauty – Flora, Fauna and Merryweather, as well as her Fairy Godfather, Bailywick. At the Royal Training Academy, they train young princess Sofia looking like a princess is not all that hard, but behaving like one must come from the heart.
Since Princess Sofia has come to live at our house, I’ve noticed that often I can correct high-strung princess-like behavior with a reminder to behave like a true princess with kindness and tenderness, as exhibited by Princess Sofia.
Miss Brielle loves her Princess Sofia doll, especially since Sofia talks!
Wearing her Magic Amulet of Avalor, a gift from the King, Sofia can understand and talk with animals. Her 3 best animal friends are: Clover the Rabbit, Mia the Bluebird and Robin the Robin. When little girls bring each animal close to Sofia’s amulet, it glows and Sofia can talk to each of her beloved little animal friends and get unique responses in return.
With Sofia, your little girl will learn the valuable lessons of Kindness, Generosity, Loyalty, Honesty and Grace – truly qualities that seem to be in short supply these days. Of course, a true princess legend is not complete without a few complications. In Sofia’s case it’s the evil sorcerer, Cedric, who covets the amulet and seeks to make it his own, thereby taking over the kingdom.
Start your little princess on the enchanted road with Princess Sofia. Our little princess is truly enchanted with her Princess Sofia.

Im teaching my girls how to be proper and well mannered. How to be tidy and overall little lady’s.. They are currenty 3 & almost 2, and my girls will not leave the kitchen table until they clean up their mess, wipe their hands and little faces and pllace their dishes in the sink, every morning they pick out their clothes (big sis helps little sis) and they dress themselves (of course mama lends a hand when needed). My girls know how to say please and thank you, and are very curteous. I dislike when children (6+ in age) are so messy and incnsiderate., it drives me crazy! I know kids get messy, mine do too.. But they know when and where its time to be messy.. Like painting and playing outside, thats inevitabe.. But they clean themselves up before going to another activity. And of course i am always near to help them and encourage them to clean up.. It comes down to how we raise them.. I have girls, and wnt them to be proper and little lady’s.. Just like my mother raised me!
I will let my little girl know that she can do anything she wants to do and not to depend on anybody but herself. Independence!
Ladylike manners!
I’m trying to instill compassion, good manners, responsibility, honesty and confidence in my daughter.
I am trying to instill Self Respect.
I try to teach my nieces that beauty is about the person on the inside, not the size clothing or the color hair on the outside. God created us all individually and sees our beauty in our uniqueness.
I’m trying to instill in my kids is respect for those whom are different, be honest to yourself and others, lying is worse then just telling the truth, and family always comes first.
Trust in God and He will never steer you wrong.
I grew up in a home that was not affectionate and every one of us three kids (my siblings and i) have very low self esteem. I have a 3 year old daughter and i am constantly showering her with affection, telling her how beautiful, kind, and smart and funny she is and teaching her that there is NOTHING that she cannot do. The possibilities are endless and i am always honest with her. I think the most important thing she will learn from me is to be respectful of herself and others and NEVER bully or torment other people, and a simple smile, please and thanks and manners goes a long way.
That is fantastic that you are taking what didn’t work in your childhood, and making it better for your children Jennifer! I commend you!

Compassion, kindness, and strength. Little girls need to know that it is okay to be whoever they are.
I’m trying to teach my girls to understand that sometimes other kids just have a bad day or are scared, tired, upset. With school starting, and my oldest in kindergarten, we are having lots of new conversations on how we can love others. Even when they are ‘unlovely’.
Self Esteem is so important!
Love of science and self confidence are values I try to instill.
I try to teach the girls I watch to believe they are smart, to be their own person, and to be genuinely nice and a friend to all!

Self respect, I believe, is the greatest character trait a little girl can be shown. With self respect, a little girl will grow up to accept no less than what she deserves. I pray that I can show this character trait to my future stepdaughters through my example.
