Parents, look out for your daughters
Posted on Dec 9th 2007 2:41PM by Martha EdwardsOver at ParentDish, Kristin talked about the relief she felt when she found out she was having a boy, because she was worried about having a daughter because of the paralyzing self-doubt that seems to plague all girls, both today and in the past. And I agree with her -- it's a frightening world for girls these days, where the desire to be frighteningly thin is at an all-time high.
The Daily Mail recently discussed this subject too -- they profile a number of young girls who are overwhelmed with self-doubt and the desire to be thin.The most frightening part? Girls as young as six are claiming to hate their bodies. Check out their article -- it's pretty alarming.
I can remember running around the block when I was 11 years old, trying to rid myself of the slight pudge of baby fat around my midsection. I wasn't overweight by any means but I wasn't a thin as some of my friend at the time. I turned out alright thanks to my parents, but some girls aren't so lucky. I'm worried about the girls of this world, the daughters of the future. What can we do to make the world a better place for women? Jennifer Love Hewitt wants to be a positive role model for young women, and we should all do the same. Be a positive role model by loving your body -- at whatever shape it is.
