How a girl thinks about her beauty starts with how you think about your beauty.
It is not only nice for yourself to have a positive self-image, it is also important for the beauty image of the next generation of girls.
Role model
Dove worldwide research shows that three quarters of girls feel the pressure to be beautiful, but also that the chance that they are negatively influenced by this is a lot smaller if they have a positive role model in their lives.
Important role As a mother, you play an important role when it comes to your daughter's self-confidence. By talking positively about your own appearance, you also help her to have a more positive self-image. But you're not just making a difference to your daughter. You also help other girls there; a girl has on average three role models.
Like mother, like daughter
Mothers and daughters were asked to make lists of things they like and dislike about themselves. The daughters' lists were very similar to those of their mothers. Realize that the impact of what you say is bigger than you think. Whether you are a mother, teacher or aunt.
