Explanation:

If you have a much younger little sister, you will probably have noticed that little girls pay a lot of attention to what grown ups or much older people tell them. A 5 year old sister considers her 15 year old brother to be almost a grandpa. Unlike little boys, little girls are very affected by the way you talk to them and display very feminine characteristics, e. g. they like to play mommy with her dolls, they take care of their pets and pretend they are babies, etc.

But when you talk to them, you must be very careful to not only praise how cute she might be, but you should also praise how intelligent or capable she is. For example, I like to praise how well my little niece paints and draws, and I always tell her she will be a great artist. Since she likes hearing how good she can be at something, she draws and paints a lot, and even though at the beginning she wasn't really, now she is doing it well. Now I can proudly tell her that she is going to be the cutest painter in the world.
