We all talk about raising bold daughters, so how do we know if we are on the right track? This mum knew for sure she was on the right track when her four-year-old Siahj Chase (also called Cici)Â had the perfect response to a boy in her class who called her ugly.
According to the video her mum Sonya shared on Facebook, her brave and smart daughter told her that a boy in her class told her she was ugly and she had the perfect response. She made it all about the purpose of being at school and took control of the situation – no room here for feeling sorry for herself or down.
A little boy said I looked … ugly,” Cici responded.
“And what did you say?” Cici’s mom asked.
“I said, ‘I didn’t come here to make a fashion statement. I came here to learn — not look pretty,'” Cici replied, adding, “The little boy said I looked ‘bad,’ and I said, ‘Did you look in a mirror lately? Bye bye, see you later, you’re making me mad.'”

We should teach children not to be mean, but in reality there will always be people that make mean comments – this little girl answered with confidence and let it roll off her back. Kudos to her! such a brave little girl.
