[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You have to parent for the world we are in and not the world you wish we were in. In this world, women are judged by their looks and you want your daughter to feel good about herself. I do not say that with snark. I had planned to never say anything about looks but I had a light bulb moment a few years ago. It's just as important that your daughter knows you think she's pretty as it is that she knows you think she's smart, strong, kind. Let her know. [/quote] So the fact that we live in a racist world means you would point out to your child that it's great that she's white? If there are things you don't like about the world you live in, you don't shrug and go along. You unpack it for your kid and explain why you don't talk about looks and instead focus on what you admire about your child is how determined she is, or how patient, or any of a host of traits that indicate choices and character rather than the luck of the genetic draw.
