[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 502932, member: 2211"] Actually, I think you've just nailed it. If my daughter were a B1!ch but gorgeous to look at, I would be hard pressed to tell her that she's beautiful. To me, beauty is part of the whole package. I think it's important to let our kids know when they are attractive. An example would be when difficult child wouldn't shower. When she DID shower or take extra time doing her hair, H or I would make the effort to notice and say, 'wow, your hair looks very pretty like that" or "oh my, that outfit is very lovely on you", flatter her somehow as a means to encourage personal hygiene and care. With easy child, everyone was always telling her she was sooooo gorgeous, so we relied heavily on complimenting her on her grades, hard work,friends, etc., while still acknowledging her outer beauty.
