Dear Carolyn: My daughter is 4. She is funny, loves singing and gymnastics, and cares deeply for her family and dog. She is also very into things being “beautiful” — especially herself.
For some context, she was scouted to be a model in infancy, which I did not want her to do. She sometimes has strangers comment on her looks in public places. My family comments on her looks, usually out of earshot but not always.
