[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think she is gorgeous. She has the biggest blue eyes I have ever seen on any child and looks like an absolute doll ( albeit a brown-haired doll). I am just worried about when she gets older and other kids/adults start judging based on looks. Nobody else worries about what their kid is going to look like?[/quote]

I guess that we as parents love our kids and think that they are beautiful.  I also realize that no matter what they will get picked on for something by someone at sometime.  But having my children base their personal self worth on looks is setting them up for failure.  I grew up looking very different than my peers (tall, thin, redhead).  My parents taught me to be educated, funny, honest, well mannered, and to charm people.  I can honestly say that like most kids/teenagers I never felt "pretty" BUT I also didn't base my identity on my looks.  I based it on the sports that I competed in, the grades that I got, and the family that loved and supported me.

It turns out that I came into my looks in my twenties and realized my "attractiveness."  The kicker is that looking back I was never unattractive - I was just different.  I thank God every day that I was different and that I was told to cultivate myself as a person and not worry about my looks.[/quote]
