shame and embarrassment
The book addresses many feelings of insecurity like, "It's tempting to compare yourself to the girls you see on TV...I just got glasses. I was worried everybody would make fun of me...I have freckles. I hate them...People say I'm thin, but I think I need to lose about 15 pounds...Do you feel left out because everyone except you is getting a bra?" My daughter doesn't seem to to have these issues and I don't want to plant all of these insecurities in her head. I will be searching for a book that gives the facts and doesn't assume that every child will feel shame and embarrassment while growing up.
