  • They Call My Daughter Bossy…

    They call my daughter bossy. “Geez,” I think, “Guess I better fix that!” So, I observe my oldest daughter while she is interacting with peers, and I see this soon-to-be eight year old telling kids what to do, correcting others when they do something wrong, and always stating her own opinion.
