Easy and fun ways to celebrate women's history month

Inspire your daughter to make a difference

Encourage your daughter to set new goals but make certain they understand how to reach them. Many women throughout history could inspire them, and your daughters could see the fruits of those women's labor in numerous ways.

Keep your children involved

We have to get future generations to regard mothering as a career valued. Be particular on how you manage shopping, supper, laundry, clothing, playtimes, and holidays, as well as the amount of time it takes. Include your youngsters in the design process so they can recognize the effort and thought that goes into it. From the cost of child care to the expense of a nursing home, address the importance of care jobs. Discuss misogyny and gender stereotypes in the home with your sons.

This women's history month, we will begin to ensure that every representation of women's current and historical milestones always contains a celebration of motherhood. Every portrayal of women's historical and contemporary achievements is finally complete.

Give a compliment

Someone's day can be made by a spontaneous expression of gratitude or kind sentiments. We have to support each other as women, so it is essential to teach your daughter to take a stand when she notices someone doing something admirable. Try offering honest appreciation to people you see doing good deeds or just putting a smile on someone's face when out in public.

Acknowledge that powerful women are also mothers

If you're talking of Sojourner Truth, the person who gave the famous "Ain't I a Woman" address at the 1851 Women's Rights Convention in Akron, Ohio, bear in mind that she had 13 kids and bravely challenged a white man to trial in 1838 to get her son's rights. Honor women who favored and supported child care, as well as programs that favor mothers.

Let your children honor important women in their life

We all have women in our communities; whether it's a mother, grandma, aunt, neighbor, or even a friend, every one of them has a tale to tell. Ask that your children take the opportunity to make the women in your communities feel respected. You can do a small act like spending quality time with them, or they even go the extra distance and write a letter, draw pictures, or record a video to remind them how they've impacted your lives as well as the lives of others.

Lastly, don't forget to say thank you

Thank the women in your life by writing, texting, Facebook messaging, or emailing them thank-you notes. Your daughter can thank a professor, mentor, teacher, colleague, or even family member. Let those women know that they are making a difference and influencing younger women.
