Woods is referring to the biological truth that a female's identity is established through her interactions with others.

As parents, Woods stresses that it's important to understand that throughout their developmental years, females thrive when receiving validation from others. This assists in their ability to become self-assured and confident women. Without praise, they spend their lives seeking validation from whoever is willing to provide it.

"This isn't about blindly removing all compliments that focus on a young girl's appearance,"Woods added. "It's simply about tailoring the way we compliment and validate females. Young girls need to hear authentic and specific affirmation regarding all aspects of who they are so they can establish a healthy and positive sense of self."
