Boys suffer from self-image issues too. My son is now 11 and has been called "fat" many times at school. Curious because he's not, just what I consider, pleasantly plump. We are concentrating on making healthier food choices plus understanding not all of us are meant to be skinny. Thanks for the message, I hope everyone that read it will pause and think about how they can help their kids with these issues. Your message was powerful and important.

My 9 yo says she's ugly and the 5 yo wants curly hair like her sister. And these girls are gorgeous (ok, I may have my mommy goggles on but they seriously are good looking girls). I point out to each of them how they both want things the other girl has, that the grass is always greener on the other side. All we can do is learn to be happy/content with what we have and do the best with what we got!
