[QUOTE="Ktllc, post: 502942, member: 11847"] I do tell my kids when they look "good" "handsome "pretty" etc... I think it is important for their self esteem. V has some dysformic features and I believe it is even more important for him to hear. And I don't say it as a chore, I really mean it! He can be a very handsome little boy. And when he looks like a slob, I tell him too. LOL When he was first born, I had a shock: he was not cute... to use a kind word. I will always remember my fisrt thoughts and my parents first reaction was even worst, although they did not actually say anything. Now, I really think he is handsome but I know he will be picked on (he did already as a matter of fact but luckily he did not hear and I put a stop to it real fast). He needs to hear when I, husband, Gpa, Gpa or whoever thinks is looks good. on the other hand, Sweet Pea is really a beautiful baby but I always make a point to compliment her on looks AND intellect "such a bright little girl", "smart", "very social baby". Just like I avoid the whole pink thing. She has some clothes but also is dressed like a Tom boy when we are in the yard. She will be raised to be a strong woman, not a pretty woman. [/QUOTE]
