[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter is 5' 10" in middle school.  She is brilliant and is very athletic.  She is now six inches taller than her mom and is starting to become self-conscious about it.  I've passed on as much dad wisdom that I've been able to (she can change a tire and filet a fish) but I don't know how to approach this issue.  And I don't want complicate things by heading in the wrong direction.  She is a confident kid, but I'm seeing that start to waiver with a bit of self-doubt.  I'm wondering if saying nothing might be the best path.  I just want her to be happy in her skin.

Thanks for any input :)

Don't say anything, just love on her and be so proud of her. I think it's best if a dad NEVER mentions a DD's looks. Not even to compliment. Just be the one man who literally never mentions it. WOrked for me. And I was 5'11" in junior high and literally never thought about it, and then married a man who was 5'10"! Good luck, OP. Yo'ull be great. Do not talk about it. Just be super proud and engage her on everything other last thing, but not her looks. My .02[/quote]
