[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it’s worse not to talk about looks. At least if she’s getting compliments from her parents, she’s hopefully not going to cling to the first guy who calls her pretty. But I do think it’s important to compliment her on her natural beauty, tell her she looks healthy/radiant after exercise or a good night’s sleep or when she’s laughing, etc. If you only tell her she’s pretty when she’s dressed up, she’s going to be obsessed with clothes/makeup.[/quote] This is exactly what happened to me. My mother hated girls who got by on their looks. So she made sure I was not one of them and made sure she never said I was pretty. I still feel ugly. You are the parents. The ones who give your kids unconditional love. Tell them they are beautiful. I tell my son that every time I feel it. He’s beautiful because he’s my baby and I love him. (Teen zits and all).[/quote]
