No because my daughter is still young, but it's one of the most important things to talk about with her when she gets older.

I always talk to my girls about self esteem.  Their self esteem is very high.

[KristinRox]

Yup, I think when you have young girls that you have to keep having talks about body imagine, about their self esteem and how they treat others. 

Talking to them, and making them realize that they are beautiful, intelligent and full of potential. I let them know that nothing is out of bounds and they can do anything, and be anyone they want to be. 

[KristinRox]

I agree!

 What a great program! This is one of many reasons I support Dove by purchasing their products.

Its such an important thing to do, to teach young girls not to compare themselves to anyone else. They have to be comfy in their own skin... you hit the nail on the head. 

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.
