smartcookie: I agree.

s2021: Totally!It bothers me when my daughters keep hearing about their(ka”h) appearance,and no one talks about character.It makes girls think that’s all others notice,so it must be EXTREMELY important!

If I am able to,I add “She’s beautiful on the inside,too”–just so they hear that it matters.Once they are teens,though,it sounds bit juvenile(for me to say that) and plus it’s better to feel pretty than have a zillion complexes.

MY POINT HERE IS:

Let’s compliment what we want to see more of: GOOD CHARACTER!!!
