[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I allowed them this year, DD is 8.  I realized I want her to grow up being comfortable in her skin, at least more comfortable than I am in mine.  I don't want to have clothing arguments with her, if I can help it.[/quote]

[b]It's silly to think that showing off as much skin as possible will equal a girl being comfortable with her body. [/b] I have no idea how people have come to believe that, but honestly it doesn't make any sense.  There are a hundred ways to help a girl gain self-confidence and be proud of her body.  In my opinion, modesty actually helps that.  Girls who grow up understanding and practicing modesty actually believe in the dignity and beauty of her body.  Modesty teaches that there is such value in her sexuality, that it deserves to be protected and used wisely.  Flaunting a nearly-naked body, provoking men and using skimpy sexy clothes to draw attention to yourself does nothing for helping a young girl develop true confidence.  Just helps her to get attention for all the wrong reasons.[/quote]

Then it's a good thing that nobody said that.

And "You'll be more comfortable with your body if you cover it up" is just as silly as "You'll be more comfortable with your body if you uncover it."

Also, the PP's DD is 8. If you think that an 8-year-old in a bikini is "flaunting a nearly-naked body, provoking men, and using skimpy sexy clothes to draw attention to herself", then you have a problem.

Finally, I don't define "modesty" by quantity of fabric worn. Why do you?[/quote]
