If I had a little girl, I would tell her all the things I think she would need to know to be fully prepared for life. I would tell her that there will be good days and bad days, and that she should be grateful for them all. I would tell her that she is always protected, and no matter what she does, she will always be loved.

I would tell my little girl that life is full of wonder and excitement, and that it is all available to her. I would tell her to focus on one thing at a time.

Enjoy it, taking the most pleasant memories of it into the next experience. I would tell her to be kind to all people, even when they are not kind in return. I would tell my little girl to find something to appreciate about everything and everyone. When you are appreciative, you get more to appreciate.

I would tell my little girl that she did not have to rely on people for her good; that she could withdraw all that she needs from Heaven. I would tell her to always tell the truth in the way she would want to hear it; always give her best and never doubt that it was good enough; always remember where she came from and the people who helped her along the way.

I would tell my little girl that the best things in life are not things.
They are people.

I would tell my little girl that it is important for her to honour what she feels. I would tell her that a well-ordered mind will never lead her astray, and that if her mind and life are to be in order, she must put God first.

The most important thing I would want my little girl to know is that she should never be afraid of making a mistake, because mistakes, when evaluated, make masters.

Yes, it is, isn't it. Of course it could be rewritten for "a little boy"
