[quote=Anonymous]I don't have time to write that much, but I also had a critical mom and an eating disorder, and I also have a very, very pretty teen daughter. We ALWAYS deemphasized appearance. All little girls want to be pretty. We told her people should strive to be "pretty on the inside" Over time, it became almost a bit of a family joke, but I do think she absorbed the lessons. Sports have helped keep our daughter's head on straight ... she sees her body as powerful. Her friends are pretty sensible -- we've been lucky with that. She spends more time on social media than I would like, but we were strict with it before high school. Just keep deemphasizing looks, keep her busy and involved with school and community, and praise her for other things. [/quote]
