Happy Martin Luther King, Jr. day to all!
Today, I'm not going to so much write a post as I'm going to share one with you. Yesterday, this blog post popped up in my Google alerts. I thought it was lovely, so I'm passing the link along to all of you.
If you've ever doubted for one minute the effect that a mom's feelings about her own body can have on her daughter, take some time to read through the comments. And if you're looking for a lovely bit of parenting inspiration, scroll down to the comment from BrooksRainey and read how her dad handled her teenage angst over her yearbook photo. Brilliant!
I've said it before and I'll say it again: It's not just what we say to our girls about their bodies that makes the difference in the body image they'll develop. It's what we say about our own bodies -- and how we treat ourselves -- that has a lasting impact.
