[quote=Anonymous]Your instinct is spot-on that much of the damage is done by extended family. I’ve even had doctors fixate on my daughters’ looks but at least it’s brief. No ads if you use screens. Toy ads sell “pretty” to toddlers. Point out beautiful garments or hairstyles that aren’t the typical beauty standard. Send them to a less posh school. We went the international school route and it’s worked well because the beauty and style norms are more varied and there are frankly fewer moms whose looks seem central to their social position.
