I have 2 teen daughters, and it is something that has reared its ugly head every now and then. I always tell them they are perfect (and they really are.) I haven't had too many issues with them but their friends, that's a whole other issue! As mothers of daughters we must teach self worth, but parents of boys must also teach their boys that beauty comes in all sizes.Amethystmoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08281654875299175221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8162625110989623531.post-18629343930222278852009-10-16T13:46:24.659-05:002009-10-16T13:46:24.659-05:00I love, love, love the duck thing and "whatch...I love, love, love the duck thing and "whatcho doin'?" She's so precious!!! Bring her by work if you have the time! And, I could NOT agree with you more with the comments about little girls and their weight. That is so sad and it gets younger with EVERY generation. I think these little girls hear their mothers and friends say how "fat" they are, when in reality it is very much not so. Mommies and Daddies need to step it up and teach their little ones about beauty from the inside and how special they are...ok, off my soap box. That topic burns me...<br />Love, AmyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8162625110989623531.post-11342881270853872432009-10-16T13:19:08.301-05:002009-10-16T13:19:08.301-05:00I'm so glad Isabelle is staying strong, and ho...I'm so glad Isabelle is staying strong, and how cute, 'whatcho doing'. I'll have to use that one. Although I don't think it would be as cute on me ☺.<br /><br />And that's sad about the little girls. It's scary how early children become obsessed with their body image.r.a.w. chronicleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05083930776102917788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8162625110989623531.post-1077180319005794532009-10-14T22:46:40.943-05:002009-10-14T22:46:40.943-05:00I have an 11 y/o girl. I so hear you on this. Than...I have an 11 y/o girl. I so hear you on this. Thankfully my dd loves herself and her body (she is actually wanting to try modeling/acting) BUT I have heard many of her (beautiful by the way) friends talk like this. I am not sure if my dd talks like that at school (since I am not there) but have never heard her say things like that around me. It is very heart breaking.<br /><br /> Her 6th bday party was about 20 girls from school (all 5 and 6 years old) half (if not more) of these kids were talking about how fating the cake is and they would not eat it because it would make them fat. That really shocked me at that age:(kiki_bourquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16056127760825770968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8162625110989623531.post-87637726413777966642009-10-14T15:05:59.505-05:002009-10-14T15:05:59.505-05:00I have twin girls who are still very wee and I'...I have twin girls who are still very wee and I'm absolutely terrified of dealing with the weight issues that I know will come up. We're trying, ALREADY, to instill healthy mindsets about food and eating and my husband and I talk frequently about things we can't say in front of them ("Honey, these jeans make me look like a cow" or "Babe, Jennifer Aniston is so hot") but I'm so afraid that they'll end up with unhealthy hang-ups like so many kids do... And what if they start comparing themselves to one another? Gah! So much to worry about! Anyway, love your page and your daughter is precious! Not sure if she's got a boyfriend yet, ;-) but I've got a little boy here who adores older girls with dark hair! :-pMelishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06790673507263670984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8162625110989623531.post-71328949865298734722009-10-14T14:16:02.390-05:002009-10-14T14:16:02.390-05:00Haha Heard a duck... Brandon would say did you hea...Haha Heard a duck... Brandon would say did you hear that frog? And he'll look around...geez yeah I hope Audrey doesn't start that! lol <br /><br />My eight year old is worried about her body... She's been like this since she was 6! Abigail would come home from visiting her dads and she would make comments about my weight. So her dad is putting weight issues in her head. She'll say I don't want to eat too much, I'll get fat... So we've been dealing with this already.The Butler Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04555251408367962397noreply@blogger.com
