[quote=Anonymous]OP, I have twins and one of them is more striking looking, although they are both beautiful. The more striking looking one is also the more slender, while the other is way more muscular. I haven't experienced the level of commentary you have, and your situation is different than mine in that my children are not biracial, but what we do is emphasize beauty in so many ways. We talk about how being strong is beautiful, about how being sweaty and gross after working out or playing outside is beautiful, about how having a beaming smile on your face is beautiful, about how being a kind friend/sister/daughter is beautiful, about how thinking about others is beautiful, etc., etc. Not that you don't do that already - but keep it up. Talk about all the ways in which people can be beautiful, inside and out. In the end, I imagine this will help your daughter have thick skin and be able to tune out the noise, but that's a hard thing for an eight-year old to grasp. [/quote]
