[quote=Anonymous]Well, my own mom is 5'11", so I didn't grow up with a big height difference between myself and my mother, but I would say just do the same thing you would do to help any daughter navigate the cultural pressures that girls face to concentrate on their appearance. When I was a kid, I used to tell my mom I wanted to be a flight attendant (because I thought that was a very glamorous profession). Her approach: "Well, but that might be a bit boring. Wouldn't you like to be a pilot instead?" (I have much respect for flight attendants, btw. I think it was more about her steering me away from wanting to do it because I thought it was a "pretty" job.)[/quote]
