It all started with socks and feet. During winter she slept with socks as they kept her nice and warm. Fair point. But then it became April, very warm and the struggle started. Didn't want to take off her socks during the day and whilst wearing sandals because she doesn't like her feet. Tried to bribe her with nail polish to show off her pretty feet. No chance. Tried a barefoot path so we could experience different feelings for feet and 'rediscover our feet'. No chance. Then gave up.
So yesterday I nearly fell over when she came up cuddling to me to tell me she doesn't like her face. We don't place much importance in this house on looking all pretty and girly, in the past have watched programmes about facially disfigured people and talked about how they may feel.
Whenever I am having a bad 'look' day, I never mention it. She is not being bullied and due to not being around that many people at the moment, I dont think anyone has mentioned anything to her.
So is this normal 5 year old behaviour (which I dont think it is) or is this the start to something more sinister and problems to come in future?

to be concerned when DD (5) told me she doesn't like her face?
