I have a daughter being born soon and I hope I can properly express to her this sentiment.

    This might be one of the hardest things as a parent. To give them a safe and nurturing environment without letting your preconceptions limiting what they can be. I'm not sure if it something that can actually be done but we can aspire to do it.

    I just want her to be able to be who she wants to be without trying to fit whatever mold is pushed on her by her peers or other adults.

    No expectations about who I want her to be (even though we all do that), just support for the decisions she wants to make and the things she wants to do.
