[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 91457, member: 1233"] I completely understand how hard it is to find and encourage modesty. Jess is having trouble because she looks at least 16 when dressed nicely. Her figure is stunning, but she is very uncomfortable with it. Lately she has been asking if her outfits are OK because she was given some pants that were WAY too low cut and I didn't realize it until she was out of the car to choir. I made her put on a jacket around her waist - she was out of the car and tugging on the back of the pants, then asked me to take her home - NOT possible to get back in time for choir. The jacket tied around her waist helped. She even put it in the car to have in the next "crack emergency" as she called it. I do my best not to make comments on other people's clothes and to comment and to home about outfits on TV that are appropriate. I also sometimes point out young women on tv that are unhealthily skinny. four young women I commented on from various commercials were all featured in articles about young women in the media with eating disorders. This is another concern here. I think as long as kt is willing to speak up to the boys (as much as she can) and will tell you or teachers or someone when she is being harassed, football is just fine. It encourages a healthy life and gives her something to talk about with the guys that is NOT gender related. I hope kt can be mostly tantrum free - 1 day at a time!! Hugs and sympathy! Susie [/QUOTE]
