And the conversation has to continue regarding how to <em>effectively</em> make that happen for our girls. So, as one solution, I founded Pretty Brainy! Seriously, though, <strong>if sales in the self-help genre and at personal development seminars are any indication, women continually seek ways to make things better in the world for themselves and their children</strong>. And I want to acknowledge what people are up against right now in the world: you and I have said here that parents need to model self-confidence, problem-solving, making healthy choices, and so on. <strong>And some days it is tough just to be human and live on the planet. To do both can be heroic</strong>. Your having taken the time to read and reply is great. Thank you. Heidi We are on the same page with instilling self-confidence in our daughters.

A lot of mothers don't realize that their smallest actions can have an enormous impact on their daughters and their self esteem. It happens even before puberty too, just think about all of the things a toddler sees you do and tries to emulate - funny faces you make, the way you eat your food or even those curse words you let slip. Telling your daughter she is beautiful, both inside and out, is just one piece of helping her to develop a positive body image. Moms can also help promote positive body images to their children by learning to love themselves, by teaching children that healthy people come in all shapes and sizes, and by placing value on talents, interests, and intellect instead of only on physical appearance.
