[QUOTE="buddy, post: 502911, member: 12886"] the fact is kids get messages about looks being important so I do agree in a balance. All kids should feel they are great looking.... pretty, handsome, spiffy, whatever you like... I especially think girls need to have their dads tell them they are beautiful. No doubt though the higher values, being smart, funny, kind, etc... are way more important to emphasize. Q has asked if he looks autistic and ugly... I dont know where he gets that idea??? I tell him no one can tell if someone is autistic by how they look. He thought his teeth looked bad, his nose, etc. I have NEVER ever said anything negative about his looks (well might have mentioned the half shaved eyebrow we discussed before was not the cutest look)... but where could he get that if not from out and about. He is told his school pictures are amazing, he is handsome etc. all along with being brave, smart, etc. [/QUOTE]
