[quote=Anonymous]As the average looking sibling of an above average looking sibling, don’t do it! My mother always said things to me like, “you’re not beautiful, but you are so, so smart.” To my gorgeous sibling she’d say things like “it’s ok you got a D, that face will save you!” We both ended up in therapy from her. What helped me is when my therapist described beauty as a concept with examples. However, she did say that parents should never comment on a child’s appearance, not even weight; weight comments should be reserved for coming from health providers only. [/quote]
