[quote=Anonymous]My mother would have described me in a lot of similar ways, and thank goodness she didn't stamp it out of me. The crushing self-doubt of puberty will probably tone down some of it, but it's great for a girl to be assertive, strong, and have a strong sense of justice/fairness. That means she's more likely to stick up for herself and others when something "bad" is happening to them. That's a quality to encourage, not discourage. It didn't hurt me socially. And now I'm an attorney, so I get to spend my days analyzing and making decisions. I'm essentially paid to have an opinion and share it. You may want to see if she's interested in sports, that's a great avenue for kids and is a space that allows them to use their leadership skills positively. [/quote]
