Journal #11 Advice


I had advised my first daughter, Rachel, to read Little Women when she was 10 years old. This book, which was written by Louisa M. Alcott, 1868, was very interesting for her, and also helped her to grow mentally. At that time, I thought Little Women would be a helpful book for Rachel. I and my husband had told her she would be our only one child, so we all were confused when I had a second baby. Especially, 10 year old Rachel wondered if she lost our love. Little Women taught her what is family and how to love family. Rachel still sometimes doubts her younger sister win more parental affection. If she had not read Little Women, she would hate her sister. Even though Rachel envies her cute sister, she extremely loves her sister. I thank to the book, and I think my advice for Rachel was very appropriate.
