When My Daughter Discovered Her First Girl Crush

Last week, my daughter came home from school absolutely glowing, eager to tell me about her new friend, Mia. As she described Mia’s kindness and creativity, I realized she was experiencing her first girl crush—a mix of admiration and excitement that made her eyes light up. It brought back memories of my own childhood, when I looked up to older girls who inspired me to be more confident. I see now how important these friendships and role models are for our kids as they grow. Have your children ever had a girl crush or a role model they looked up to?
