Dsd & I just had a big talk about it.

[SlightlyPerfect]

Do you know what's compelling her to compare herself? That seems so young!

Quoting elasmimi:

I have a 6 y/o who already has self esteem issues. I encourage as much as possible to see her good points, and not compare herself to others.

 This is great. Thanks so much for letting us know about it.

 I have a son and daughter and I talk to both of them about self esteem. It's just as important for boys.

[candycrush]

 That's so great.

Quoting goddess99:

We do talk about this some. She's 10 and already has acne, wears glasses, ... so far she hasn't cared about any of it.

My daughter is too young yet to discuss self esteem but I have thought about it a lot. 

We'll talk as she gets older.

[captainjack]

Yes we talk about this everyday!!

I have a son. We talk about growing up and these issues all the time.
