[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In a way their care free attitude may be better as they are less self conscious but it's hard to see my own child wearing unflattering clothes (keeping my mouth shut though 99% of the time). [/quote]
Please make it 100%, please stop worrying about what your daughter wears or looks like, and enjoy her.  Just say no to your worries.  My husband obsesses about my 13 y.o. son not eating enough and it's just nuts.  Let the kid eat when he's hungry and not when he's not.  I'm the youngest of seven kids - my mom confesses she had anxiety about the oldest four's eating habits, worried about everything, but ran out of energy to obsess by the time the last four came around and she let us be just who we were, eat what we wanted (healthy choices were always available), left hair, clothes, homework, activities all up to us.  Just anecdotal, but three of the four oldest are underachievers with significant weight problems, the youngest three are normal weight and professionals. [/quote]
