dd (5yrs) has over the last 6mths expressed her dislike for certain aspects of herself. She wants straight hair, hating her waves. Her thighs are too fat (that's a laugh). Her feet are too long and now she says she hates her voice!
She is a pretty, slim little girl of average height and above average inteligence. I this normal in such a young child? Should I be concerned?
I would be grateful to hear about your childrens development of their own self awareness, at what age and what form did it take?
