In my opinion it is important to help your child learn she can stand up for herself from an early age. This afternoon when I had taken my little girl to the playground, a little boy shouted at her. She ran to me crying. I told her when anyone shouts at you, you tell them you don't appreciate them shouting, or tell them there is enough space for both of you to play or just shout back. I also told her, she has to stand up for herself. Later on when we were passing a Victoria Secret store, she asked if she can have a bra. We went in and asked one of the sales ladies. The lady asked: how old are you? The little girl replied: I will be five. The sales lady smiled and said: It is a very good question. I think you have a few years before you need one.
