tuffboi,

I had my three little nieces for three years, each with so very different personalities and needs. One was a real life little feminine princess, another had seemingly strong butch characteristics, and the third was still a baby.

I say honor who they show you they are at that time and be open to changing and growing with them as they discover who they will be. Give her room to be who she needs to be.

Listen to them, truly listen and when you do not understand ask question and listen some more.

Tell her the truth as is age appropriate of course. Just know, they know if you are not truthful to them.

Give her a strong foundation of self, so that no matter who or what she will always know who she is and that she does indeed matter.

Let her know always how proud you are of her and that you are there for her.
