Parents in the United Kingdom are speaking out about a handbook from nursery school provider Bright Horizons that advises they not call their daughters 'princess' or 'pretty.'
were left outraged after a nursing school chain in the country sent out a handbook urging parents to not call their daughters"pretty" or"princess."
"It is so easy to fall into a pattern of praising a girl’s appearance , labelling her behaviour as ‘good’, or congratulating her when she does something perfectly," the handbook states, according to Express. The guide instead urges parents to"reflect" on how they are raising their daughters. Parents are also urged to"eliminate gender-based references to your child, such as ‘princess’ or ‘tomboy’ or phrases such as, ‘Young ladies don’t behave that way.
"Bright Horizons is dictating to parents their own political views on how to raise their children," the mom, from Kent, said according to Express.
