[quote=Anonymous]Whenever people talk about physical things about my kids I immediately steer the conversation to non-physical attributes. For example, if they say "he's so tall", I'll say "he's a lot of fun and so sweet with his sister and today he was learning about space" or something like that. When your girls hear you focusing on the non-physical attributes, I think that will ring louder than what a stranger says. Although some of the comments you outlined are over-the-top, a stranger can only relate to your kids by physical attributes because they don't know them personally. So just steer the conversation to build them up with where they excel. My mom was so sensitive to criticism or compliments on looks and her dialogue to me over-rode anything I heard elsewhere. It sounds like you're a caring, observant mom. I'm sorry that happens to your girls.[/quote]
