My heart breaks a little reading this. And this doesn't happen to boys, I think. My daughter, aged 4, is also a force of nature and with her personality now, would be the kind of girl boys would have to feel worthy to dare approaching her. I hope she doesn't lose that confidence and sass, I really hope. Good luck, I feel your pain...
