When Kayla was a little girl, I dreamed of taking her to ballet or gymnastics class. I had always wanted to do those things growing up, so I was hoping my little girl would be able to fall in love with dance and tumbles just like me. However, she had her own dreams of basketball and playing in the dirt with her brother. And ya know what? I was totally OK with that. Every little girl deserves her own dreams.
I recently got to speak with Jenelle Manzi about helping your little girl achieve her dreams and also talk about her role in the new Barbie movie, Barbie and the Pink Shoes.
I love what Jenelle says in the video above. It is so important for us as parents to be on board with our kids’ dreams. Just because we may not like the choice that they have made, it’s their dream and we need to get behind them and support them in whatever they choose for their lives.
Right now, my daughter is learning to play drums. I love that she is breaking out of the box and being her own person and doing something she loves. She’s taking classes, practicing, and this summer she will be attending Camp Electric, which is a Christian week long camp for teens and kids who have musical talents. I’m SO proud of her
