Nursery school under fire for advising parents to not call daughters ‘pretty’ or ‘princess’

Parents in the U.K. were left outraged after a nursing school chain in the country sent out a handbook urging parents to not call their daughters “pretty” or “princess.”

“They obviously have very left-wing views in terms of gender politics and think they are entitled to tell parents how to address their daughters and what to teach them about their bodies,” one parent of a child at Bright Horizons, Express reported. Bright Horizons is one of the largest nursery school providers in the U.K., operating hundreds of nurseries and preschools across Britain.

Bright Horizons parents received what is being described by British media as a “woke” handbook advising parents to steer clear of gendered language and to not praise their children for good behavior.

“It is so easy to fall into a pattern of praising a girl’s appearance (‘You look so pretty!’), labelling her behavior as ‘good’, or congratulating her when she does something perfectly,” the handbook states, according to Express. The guide instead urges parents to “reflect” on how they are raising their daughters.

Parents are also urged to “eliminate gender-based references to your child, such as ‘princess’ or ‘tomboy’ or phrases such as, ‘Young ladies don’t behave that way.’”
