[quote=Anonymous]I do now for teen DD because she was having some self esteem issues. She actually is pretty. I've had people say that to me, and I would tell them to not say it in front of DD because I did not want her to focus on looks. But, then when she started having some self esteem issues around her appearance I told her that a lot of people think she's pretty but I tell them to not say anything in front of her. She didn't believe me. Then we went to a foreign country, and people just kept telling me (I speak that language) how pretty she is, and when DD would ask what they were saying (because she knew they were talking about her), I told her what they said. She has a better self esteem now, but I remind her, a lot, that beauty is fleeting, and to focus on your achievements, not your looks. But, she's a teen so she does spend a lot of time in front of the mirror. Her grades and SAT score are above average, at least.[/quote]
