My dear daughter, although you are only six years old, I can already sense the world attempting to distance you from the innocence of childhood. In response to this, I make you these heartfelt commitments.
-
I pledge to foster a positive body image in you. You will never hear me speak of “diets” or “calories.” I will refrain from expressing dissatisfaction about my appearance. When you notice my laugh lines, I’ll remind you they’re from joy. I won’t allow you to speak negatively about your body either. Your health is what truly counts. Nothing else even comes close.
-
I will never suggest that there are things you cannot achieve because you’re a girl. I admire your determination in basketball, even as the only girl on the team. Watching you fiercely defend your position and sprint down the court fills me with pride. I promise to nurture that spirit and ambition within you.
-
I will ensure that you never take part in unkind behavior. I cannot tolerate any actions that exclude or hurt others. The world can be tough, especially for young girls, and I will guide you to uplift rather than diminish others, drawing from my own experiences and love.
-
I will protect you from the harmful messages in advertising for as long as possible. While I know that I cannot keep you naive forever, I will shield you from media that promotes unrealistic beauty standards. Your journey should not be marred by the belief that you are anything less than beautiful.
-
I will encourage you to express yourself boldly. Your voice is powerful and deserves to be heard. Share your ideas, no matter how unconventional, with enthusiasm and confidence. Claim your space in this world.
-
I will never suggest you need to “add a little makeup.” I hope you will always see your natural beauty in the mirror. If you ever feel otherwise, it won’t be because of my influence.
-
I will hold onto your childhood for as long as I can. Remember when I was upset about your twerking? It’s essential to enjoy being a little girl for as long as possible. Embrace your imagination, from playing with dolls to dreaming of magical adventures.
-
I promise to be an attentive listener. I want to understand your dreams and opinions. I’m continually amazed by the unique perspective you bring to the world. I anticipate many insightful discussions in the years to come.
-
My love for you is unconditional. Even during those teenage years when you might express frustration towards me, I will remember that it’s part of growing up. While I may not always be silent during our conflicts, I promise to embrace you each night and forgive any misunderstandings.
-
Above all, I love you to infinity and beyond. My role as your mother is incredibly important to me, and I’m committing these promises to writing so you can hold me accountable.
With all my love,
Mom
