Yesterday, my 5-year old daughter stood up for herself in a big way. Not just to anyone, but to a family member more than 13 times her age.

This family member said to her that she was “too skinny” and she needed to “eat something”.

Under her breath, my daughter said, “don’t judge me.” I don’t think she knew I could hear her, but I could see the frustration on her face. The family member continued to comment on my daughter for being “too skinny”.
