Ginnie notices that her peers are all good at something, so she seeks her own talent. As she pursues this idea, she sees that her best friend, Geneva, has different priorities and interests. Ginnie works to discover what she is good at and finds that she has a way with young children. Ginnie also realizes that pursuing her interests is hard work but enjoyable.

This is a good way to begin a discussion of your daughter’s talents and interests. It is also useful to discuss the idea that friendships are not dependent on sharing particular talents and interests. Ginnie and Geneva and the other girls have plenty of other things in common and are therefore free to develop these individual aspects of their personalities.
