It's a constant struggle to get her to focus on the more important things in life and realise that we love her as she is!

I've met your beautiful daughter, and she is a star. It just seems sad that young girls, and increasingly boys, are being taught to become body concious at such a young age, this is nothing to do with health.
There is plenty of time for us to develop neurosis as adults, without screwing up the next generation now. Let them enjoy their childhoods, without all this b*llocks about wanting to have the perfect body, which is foisted upon us by the fashion industry and the media, and which most of us will never obtain anyway.
