Praise/encourage and support things other then her good looks. Sure, I tell my daughter she's pretty time to time. But I'm also praising her when she makes me laugh, when she surprises me with her smarts, when she makes a witty joke.
I encourage her to draw and read. Lord knows I encouraged her in sports but she hates them. Lol My daughter is a girly girl at heart and lives for dresses and skirts but even in toddlerhood we tried to install modesty.
She wasn't allowed to leave the house without shorts or leggings on. When she's older ill actually be around to pick out clothes with her. If it doesn't cover her body then we don't buy it.
Her father and I have a healthy, respectful relationship. We lead by example. I talked to my daughter about her body/boys/sex in an age appropriate matter since she was very small.
Conversations gradually become more specific as she gets older. So we're comfortable talking in our house, she's comfortable asking questions. We don't treat nudity has something dirty in our house.
When our kids were small and they walked in on us changing or in the shower it wasn't a big deal. Especially with mom, we didn't hide and cover. We lead by example of being humble and confident in our bodies.
We try to live healthy lifestyles, so there isn't any excess pressure from being overweight. We try to make her feel special for who she is. We donate and don't put much weight into material objects.
We don't tend to buy brand name clothing. We curb unhealthy and bullying-like talk about others. Mainly you be a good person and lead by example.
Give them a good home that teaches them the importance of love, family, and acceptance, and pray those influencers effected them enough to last them in the face of media and peer pressure.
My daughter is 7 so there really is not that much bad influence that she's aware of yet, but honestly I feel the biggest influence comes from the home life. For example females who act out sexually and all that typically don't have the best home life. If you teach your child proper morals and show them love and respect you will not go wrong.
Also im not afraid to talk to her about whats right and wrong for her age regarding clothing and make up.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
