Seems pointless. Banning "bossy" isn't going to make girls more outgoing, instead we should try to foster confidence from a young age.
yeah, why are they trying to ban a single rather meaningless word and thinking that will affect anything? And if they think being called "bossy" is really one of the main things damaging a kid's confidence, they need to get out of their ikea dream house.
Why do so many people try to ban things that can only potentially have any negative outcome?
It's like we are obsessed with creating some regulated, sterile world where nobody can possibly get hurt by banning any minuscule imperfections.
Maybe they should ban scissors and steak knives too because it's possible to get cut from them. Hell, if you don't treat a cut right and get it infected you can even potentially die.
Prevent confidence issues by perhaps talking to the kid instead or something.
sorry, felt like venting.
