[quote=Anonymous]Why would you not want your daughter to look as beautiful as she could? I don’t understand. A beautiful child has many advantages over an ugly one, and ignoring her looks won’t make her any less concerned about them. I want my daughter to be beautiful. She knows she is pretty and people tell her that. But she knows that she is not *only* pretty, that she is also smart, often whiny, sensitive, clever and gregarious. We work on all aspects of our character, and beauty is one of them. We have a saying about getting ready in the morning to that effect: “do the best with what you have and then forget about yourself”. It puts looks to scale; a happy girl who isn’t self-conscious is always pretty.[/quote]
