When I was due with my 6th child, I walked out of the bathroom one morning after a shower, and encountered two of my sons, and after we passed, I heard one say to the other "did you see MOM?" and I thought "finally!" they are taking an interest in the pregnancy.......but then my younger son said "Yeah.

I do remember doing a double-take when I was in my early 20s and my mom made some off-hand comment about hating her belly. She really had me believing that she wasn't bothered by her body at all.Ailihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15778690707580603910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14032761.post-20366316678536553222012-10-10T13:54:06.255-04:002012-10-10T13:54:06.255-04:00You have such wonderful confidence!

It's so good to remind our children that they do not have to be physically flawless to be beautiful, and that is a lesson that is often best demonstrated as well as told.

That is a fantastic way at looking at self-esteem. I agree, we all have our flaws, but loving ourselves as we are is the key to teaching our children that they are perfect just as they are, too.

It's great that you're showing your daughter that you're comfortable with yourself. That's such an important lesson and you're right, it can't effectively be taught directly.Casey- Sesame Seed Designshttp://sesameseeddesigns.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14032761.post-24961163673208336292012-10-09T22:06:51.978-04:002012-10-09T22:06:51.978-04:00Thanks for sharing.

We walk around naked sometimes too for situations like you described :) I'm not sure it helps my girl, but it is normal to be naked and I want her to know that we each embrace our own bodies, too.Mamma Piehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16342670830239937072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14032761.post-37386178770501774982012-10-09T18:29:58.576-04:002012-10-09T18:29:58.576-04:00This is so great.

I feel as though I grew up in a home where a lot of emphasis was placed on appearance and weight. It has made for some really tough times for me. <br /><br />I think it's wonderful that you're modeling such great behavior for your daughter, and I feel that it will truly do for her exactly what you are Jennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03863013877282686584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14032761.post-12644602395989196562012-10-09T17:23:10.483-04:002012-10-09T17:23:10.483-04:00Beautiful.

Modesty can be a lovely thing, but when we are overly modest with our bodies it can imply we are ashamed of them. <br />This is a lesson I am recently learning, I wish I had known it all along. ;)desfentonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11468862781679887190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14032761.post-50194100240179804502012-10-09T16:25:52.057-04:002012-10-09T16:25:52.057-04:00I love this.

My 3yo also prefers to be naked. I even let my 9mo go naked (not even a diaper). That only leaves my teenage daughter and husband (her step father) who make sure to keep things covered.<br /><br />I'd like to think that by exhibiting my Momma Jorjehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17736034293320117257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14032761.post-30702050135017074732012-10-09T13:08:27.456-04:002012-10-09T13:08:27.456-04:00It's great that you want to teach your daughte...It's great that you want to teach your daughter to have confidence in her self and her body!Maliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14355362181790354506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14032761.post-65938825305201763532012-10-09T10:13:27.907-04:002012-10-09T10:13:27.907-04:00It's wonderful to see parents working to build...It's wonderful to see parents working to build up their kids in every way possible.
