[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 12yo DD is a little overweight (has a belly and thicker legs) and of course wants to dress just like her friends in short shorts, tight tanks and cropped tees. The reality is that it just doesn’t look very good on her and I worry that her peers and boys are going to pick up on that [b]compared to her twig like friends[/b]. She isn’t bothered though and has great self confidence, so I don’t want to do anything that could impact that going into her teen years. Do I just keep my mouth shut and let her wear what she wants? When she has tried really unflattering things in the past that she says she loves I’ve replied with things like - that looks nice/ok but it’s not my favorite cut/color/style - but she doesn’t seem to care and just wants what everyone else has. [/quote] Please don’t refer to healthy 12 year olds as twigs because they’re not overweight like your DD[/quote]
