If you have a daughter and she isn’t gifted with tremendous physical beauty, be very, very careful. If she ever overhears you remarking about her figure, her homeliness, or comparing her to another girl, the damage to her sense of self-worth could take years to heal. What you say matters. Focus on your daughter’s character strengths, and you will find that your relationship with her will deepen. (It will also remind her that character is what really matters.)
