[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think this is a show don't tell situation. If my mom had had a "you don't need to be pretty to be successful" conversation with me, I definitely would have assumed that her subtext was that I was hideously ugly. However, I think you can model and highlight that women are smart, interesting, and powerful and downplay a focus on looks.[/quote] This. Show her that you are confident and love yourself the way you are. Show her that looks are not the most important thing about a person. If you tell her "it's ok not to be pretty" what she will hear is "you aren't pretty." Do not put that thought into her head. It will be devastating. [/quote]
