I had never thought about this subject much, but your assertions make perfect sense. A mother has a profound influence on daughter, and blessed is the child of a mother who knows her worth is in Christ, and who has her eyes on pleasing Him.

My daughters saw me obsess about my weight a lot and I know watch my oldest (who is very thin) do many of the same things she watched in her mom.

She would never say that I was getting fat but she would say, you're eating junk food. That was her way of telling me that I was gaining weight but in the best way because then I knew that she knew I wasn't being healthy.<br /><br />I've never had body issues but I'm always awareFaithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15614940560800247144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1586909426061351037.post-72825137899156178322017-07-06T19:37:48.978-07:002017-07-06T19:37:48.978-07:00Thank you for shining the light on this subject wh...Thank you for shining the light on this subject which is important for me as I also have a teenage daughter.<br />That verse in 2 Timothy is speaking volumes to me tonight. I think that the spirit of fear has been whispering in my ear on certain subjects lately, and I don't always realize it right away. I need to meditate more on this verse and make it a part of my spiritual armor.Ruthhttps://plantedbylivingwater.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1586909426061351037.post-73266801792319789732017-07-06T13:04:36.212-07:002017-07-06T13:04:36.212-07:00I read a book called Food For Love that got me thi...I read a book called Food For Love that got me thinking which led to this post. I asked my daughters why they didn't go down this path. Their answers varied - one was too vain and couldn't do it and the other just kinda got past it. I wondered why I never went all the way down this path though I didn't always have a positive image.

I didn't get them from my mom. She's always been tiny, ate plentiful and never made disparaging comments about her own body. I always knew that if I ever had a daughter it would be super important not to project and to "hide" my issues, because kids see everything.

But I think they still caught some "bug" or heard comments from kids at school since one of them said negative things sometimes. But all we can do is try and change their thinking and pray. a friend from Tune in ThursdaySteph Mounierhttp://www.stephwrites4god.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1586909426061351037.post-20813799195526045822017-07-06T08:10:16.737-07:002017-07-06T08:10:16.737-07:00This statement - and the older they are, the less ...This statement - and the older they are, the less control we have but the more fun they are! hits the nail on the head.

I have 3 daughters - thankfully, they don't struggle w/ weight/physical appearance issues (but other issues! tis humanity!) so true that children learn more from how we live than what we say. and so our greatest responsiblity is to live out of the truth of Scripture and God's great love for us as our anchor. that will spill over more than any other means to teach them. and Sue Moore Donaldsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06433345794676779511noreply@blogger.com
