[quote=Anonymous]I’ve taught my daughter (now 15) that our bodies are a tool to help us live fun and fulfilling lives, not for decoration. If our legs allow us to ride bikes, our hands allows us to play the piano, our eyes allow us to watch movies and our noses allow us to smell roses then everything is working as intended. I never ever commented on my daughters looks when she was little (and rarely do so now) and any compliments about appearance were for cool outfit choices or cute hairdos as a way to compliment her taste and effort as opposed to any intrinsic standard of beauty. Also I never comment about other people’s looks ever, not about celebrities or neighbors or anyone else. My attitude is always like looks don’t even exist. [/quote]
