There is always something about ourselves that we wish we could change – legs, feet, hands, eyes, nose, freckles.  Of course there are ways to make changes surgicaly but why can’t we accept ourselves for the way we are?  Others might not even notice the flaws that we focus on and may infact  find them attractive.   Your child may have the same shape legs, feet, hands, eyes, nose or freckles and you love them on hm/her.   If you let it be known to your child that you dislike certain features about yourselve you are also saying that you don’t like him for the same reason.   Showing your child that you love who you are sends a message of  self acceptance that says “I’m glad I’m me”.  Send a mesage of love to your child by telling him/her that he is perfect just the way he is and he will think “I’m glad I’m me”.   For more info www.sheilaaronbooks.com.
