WHAT ARE LITTLE GIRLS MADE OF?
An adaption of the nineteenth-century poem for today s young women
Jay Payleitner
What are little girls made of?
Sugar and spice and all things nice.
Iron and lace, enchantment and grace.
Algebra rules and carpentry tools.
Beauty and brains, and horses manes.
Freckles and braids and wild escapades.
Castles and dreams, whispers and schemes.
Wise intuition. Endless ambition.
Sweet reminisces and butterfly kisses.
That s what little girls are made of.

FOREWORD
Rae Anne Payleitner
A Little Book of Big Ideas . I don t mean to contradict my father from the very first page, but a lot of these ideas aren t all that big. They are actually rather small ideas and take very little effort or time. Which conveniently matches the concise and fun-to-read nature of the book.
Some of the Big Ideas presented here may require a bit more commitment than others, but for the most part, these are not groundbreaking, wallet-busting, revolutionary strategies for being the greatest father ever. These are small, simple ideas for your everyday life. And that is where you-as a dad-can make all the difference. In the small things.
I guarantee that making a little bit of effort a hundred times is far more valuable than making a grandiose effort only a few times. I love my dad, and I trust him and value him. That s not because of big expensive vacations or mountaintop moments. And it s not because of a handful of empowering speeches mimicking something you might hear in a football locker room at halftime, or at the end of an Al Pacino movie. It s because he was there. It s because every day he would ask how my day was. He would break down my softball games with me after a tough loss. He would proofread my English papers. He would defeat me in every game of Ping-Pong, so that when I finally bested him, I knew it was well earned.
These things don t take a lot of time or brain power or money. When a dad takes a few moments every day to invest in his daughter, they add up. All those small things, all those little moments, will eventually be a big deal.
Even if you don t have all the answers, be there to listen. Even if you mess up, be there to apologize. Even if you can t stop the world from hurting your daughter, be there to hold her hand through any crisis, large or small. This is what makes for a great father. You don t have to be perfect; you just have to try. Your daughter will slowly collect and treasure your small acts of love, snippets of wisdom, bits of effort, and hints gained from experience. That is what she will take with her into the world, and that is who you will be to her.
You have the beautiful opportunity to be a lot of things to your daughter-her hero, friend, coach, confidant, and inspiration. But all of that begins quite simply with showing up and investing in the small things.
So on behalf of your daughter, I hope you find a few ideas between the covers of this book to help start you on your journey.
INTRODUCTION
D ad, relax. I promise this book will be easy to read. Probably even fun. This book will not make you feel guilty, incompetent, or ignorant. The fundamental purpose of this book is for you to say, Oh, I can do that!
Let me also assure you that no matter how many books you read, you will never completely understand what it s like to be a girl. And that s okay. Being slightly confused and regularly surprised is actually part of the fun. Stay connected with your daughter, keep the lines of communication open, and give her lots of encouragement and confidence. Those surprises will keep coming for years to come.
Rita and I have five kids. The first four were boys. Alec, Randall, Max, and Isaac each has his own unique personality and list of accomplishments. But as I watched their choices and adventures, I would almost always think, Well, that makes sense .
With our youngest, Rae Anne, my reaction to many of her choices has been, Where did that come from?
Rae Anne is audacious, except when she chooses to work quietly behind the scenes. She is fearless, except for a few of her secret phobias. She is a born leader with strong opinions but will gladly take advice from someone who has earned her respect. Rae wore a tiara to our local park district s daddy-daughter dance but never passed up a game of backyard football with her brothers. She was an all-state catcher in high school softball but also earned awards in speech and as a lawyer on the mock trial team. She totally surprised both Rita and me when she announced she was going to West Point. And surprised us even more when she announced she was going to law school in Dublin.
I was not surprised when she agreed to write the foreword for this book. She does like to share her point of view. (Thanks, Rae Anne. I love you so much.)
While Rae Anne is the inspiration for much of this book, I confess that I have been stealing ideas from other men for years when it comes to raising daughters. Hey, we dads gotta stick together. If you are inspired, challenged, or stunned by anything you read in the following pages, I d love to hear about it. You can track me down at jaypayleitner.com .
