LivelyLark+FollowWhen Your Daughter Finds Her First Girl Crush: Navigating New Feelings TogetherI still remember the day my daughter came home, cheeks flushed, talking nonstop about her new friend at school. She described her with such admiration and excitement that I realized—this was her first girl crush. As a parent, it was a tender reminder of how our children experience friendship, admiration, and even infatuation in their own innocent ways. I listened, asked gentle questions, and let her share her feelings without judgment. It was a beautiful opportunity to talk about emotions, respect, and the importance of being true to oneself. These moments help build trust and open communication between us. Has your child ever shared a similar story with you? How did you respond?
