[quote=Anonymous]PP here again and, yes, I do worry about my daughters' appearance -- I hope that they are "pretty enough" that it's a non-issue for them. But more importantly, I want them to believe that they are beautiful based on their own assessments, not some external reflection from others. I want their appearances to take a back seat to their other qualities, like intelligence and integrity and kindness. And I want them to judge their bodies based on how strong and healthy they are, how they feel, and what they can do, not how they look. I agonized over my appearance for years, had an eating disorder, and worried way too much about what others thought about how I looked. I don't want my girls to experience any of that. And, yes, kids know when their mothers disapprove of their looks, even when it remains unsaid.[/quote]
