[quote=Anonymous]Don't talk about calories, weight, etc around your kids. Promote a healthy body for health, not weight or appearance. Don't make comments about others bodies, appearance, clothes, etc even if its nice. The negative comments are for obvious reasons but the positive one can have negative impacts too. My cousin is absolutely gorgeous by any definition. You cant help but negatively compare yourself to her when everyone else compliments her And I know this is controversial, but its ok to tell your kid they are pretty, handsome, whatever. It is a self esteem boost to have someone call you that. Yes, highlight all the areas that are great about them that aren't their appearance, but I still think its important to hear you're pretty.
