(Following is a post by my 10-year-old daughter, inspired by a conversation we recently had about a reality show and the impact of criticism. Ella is wise beyond her years and has excellent insight on how we parents can help our children meet their potential in a loving, positive manner).

Hi friend! Thanks for taking time to visit! I’m a mom of four girls who lives in the South and believes in the power of stories and God’s grace to change and transform lives.
My hope is to encourage you and learn from you. I write a lot for mothers and daughters and love to connect with both, so join me on Facebook and Instagram and let’s have a conversation!

Moms, our teenage daughters need us, and we need strength from God to love (and guide) them well.
These 10 simple truths will make one big change in your life.
What people say about you is opinion. What God says about you is fact. The way to know your worth is to focus on the facts.
