[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not sure how this translates into parenting advice, but as a woman now in my early 50s, I am very glad that I got the message early on not to rely on my looks. [/quote] I posted this yesterday. Here's how I think it translates into parenting. You tell your child she is beautiful because she is, because we all are. I routinely tell both of my children (15 year old girl and 17 year old boy) that they are beautiful/handsome. But in every other way that you interact with your child, and in the way you live your own life, you show them that physical beauty is not what matters to you, and not what they should care about (or care about unduly).
