This is a thought-provoking Ted Talk by Caroline Paul that I consider a must-watch for parents of young girls. It discusses how you can raise girls who are willing to take on the world, rather than sit back and watch it passively pass them by. As the speaker points out, it can be as simple as encouraging them to seek out adventure when playing on playground equipment in the local park (as we automatically do with boys), rather than constantly warning them of dangers and urging them to be careful.
