[quote=Anonymous]At 13, you need to have your daughter start expressing for herself how she feels. Something like “I actually like this outfit!” Or “I’m ok with the skincare products my doctor prescribes” followed by a quick turn of the conversation topic. If she can’t do it verbally, she should leave the room. Having you intervene won’t be super helpful - I doubt MIL will react the way you want her to. It will be much more impactful coming directly from your daughter, and in addition it will teach her how to respond to unwanted comments that are bound to come from others throughout her life. She should learn to be confident and assertive not just with her grandmother.[/quote]
