[quote=Anonymous]He is five and has no filter yet. Don't overthink things. I think wording like "what matters is that I'm kind, smart" in this particular situation is rather disingenuous when you are in fact making a choice to wear makeup that makes you look very different, every day. I think the more important message is about being concerned with the feelings of others when you make comments about appearance. Compliments are ok, so "you look so pretty with that makeup on" would be fine. Negative comments ("you're less beautiful") are not ok because they can hurt people's feelings and make them sad. In our family, outside of positive compliments, we only say things that are truthful, necessary and kind. Negative comments like your son is saying are not all three of those and so would be kept to ourselves. [/quote]
