Rachelle Indra emphasizes the importance of complimenting girls in a way that enhances their self-worth. Instead of focusing on beauty only when they are dressed up, she advocates for recognizing their innate beauty during moments of authenticity and effort. This strategy helps girls understand their value beyond societal standards of appearance, reinforcing that they are inherently beautiful regardless of how they look. Indra reflects on a personal story with her stepdaughters, illustrating how subtle shifts in language can impact a girl's perception of beauty and self-worth.
"When your daughters are trying a new sport, or doing their homework, or just being authentically them, that's when you tell them they are beautiful."
"It's important when a woman makes an effort and is doing something... to acknowledge it. So when they get dressed up it's a good acknowledgment to say 'Oh you look fancy!'"
