Aiiii! Remembered my question!In a society that hyper-sexualizes women and is obsessed with weight, how do you sort of protect your daughter from all of this negative media? If that makes sense.

There you've hit on one of the major stresses in my life right now.
We just keep talking, basically. Anything that comes up.. we'll bring it up, talk to her about it, see what she's coming away with in her head, and address accordingly.
We don't have cable TV so she's at least not exposed to too much that way, but it is pervasive..
Communication, monitoring, more communication. We can't shield her from the reality of the world and how twisted it is but we can make her aware of it with a different point of view.

All we can really do is pray some of it sticks.

Have at it.
