tonight dd and I were having a chat and I said something about her being cute. She responded by saying 'do you think I'm cute mum because I don't think I'm very pretty' I asked her why and she said she just doesn't like her face.
She is beautiful for a start, massive big Blue eyes and gorgeous hair but that's not the point. I've always tried to build her self esteem and see that she's more than just a pretty face and I'm a bit saddened that she doesn't think she's beautiful.
Anyone been through anything similar or can offer any advice?
