In Lisa
Bloom's reading, "talking to a little girl," Lisa suggests starting a
conversation with a little girl telling them about the books that we read.
Lisa does this because generally, when we talk to girls, we usually say things about their appearance, but this only reinforces the stereotypes of beauty in girls who are only cultivating their self-esteem. Because of this, says Lisa, she initiates conversations with the girls about their readings and other questions related to their personal tastes, away from topics as superficial as physical appearance.
