We believe the lies. It's so important for parents to impress on their kids the truth.

How we see and care for ourselves is how our girls will see and care for themselves. All of us can be shining light examples for all little girls. There is so much beauty in each of us.<br /><br />Thank you for spreading the light!<br />Jessica Drummond, MPT, CHC<br />jessicadrummond.comJessica Drummondhttp://www.jessicadrummond.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2501996593127787714.post-18214038346574295652012-09-06T16:00:18.289-05:002012-09-06T16:00:18.289-05:00How encouraging.

You are absolutely right, Jenifer. How sad ...YES!!! You are absolutely right, Jenifer. How sad that our children have heard our complaining and are echoing it. I'm sure I did the same thing and I heard my daughter said it as a ten year old and when visiting her this summer, lo and behold I heard her eight year old daughter say it!!! I told Beth that she was beautiful because she had God's spirit within her and that is what made her attractive!<br />I pray that moms will read this and take heed! <br />Have a good day and keep up the great writing.<br />Hugs, CindyCindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05984727854409721822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2501996593127787714.post-44834864333121961022012-09-06T11:20:57.591-05:002012-09-06T11:20:57.591-05:00This post made me cry...because I saw myself in it...This post made me cry...because I saw myself in it. And, unfortunately, I see my daughters & granddaughters doing the same thing. I am so tired of hearing my daughters...my BEAUTIFUL daughters saying they are fat or ugly or whatever...it makes my heart hurt that they can't see their beauty. This must be how my mama felt as I did the same thing...and still do.<br /><br />I pray that we will begin to see ourselves as God does...<br /><br />Great post!<br />Debihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05915464515200570565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2501996593127787714.post-78138613731886423682012-09-06T10:09:10.341-05:002012-09-06T10:09:10.341-05:00EXCELLENT and unfortunately it's not just us -...EXCELLENT and unfortunately it's not just us - it's the MEDIA - Magazines, TV, SELL an idea of beauty and it is NOT realistic and we adults have bought into it and the kids sit in front of a tele that is selling it. Just look at Barbie - In real life she would look totally deformed!
