[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1.  I bought my daughter and I silk pillowcases.
2.  I got her to be very good about washing her face each night.
3.  I made sure she had friends from different walks of life.
[b]4.  I pointed out to her how awkwardly other girls her age stood (as if they've just discovered they have arms and don't know where to put them or what to do with them) so she didn't feel alone[/b]
5.  I did fun things with her every few days (go for a walk, get Starbucks - nothing big) so she'd be able to get out without having to overthink how she looked or what she said.
6.  I allowed her to try every face wash she wanted, and get any coverup she wanted. [/quote]

What?? The answer is to make fun of other girls? You are a terrible example. This is where mean girl behavior starts - from the moms.[/quote]

Oh please, give me a break.  She's not saying to make fun of other girls.  She's showing her DD that the awkward physical stuff is common and nothing to be ashamed of.  I thought that that was great advice, given than my own 14 year old DD is also in this weird, gangly, baby giraffe stage of life where she doesn't seem to know how to naturally walk while swinging her arms anymore.
