    How to talk to your daughter about her body, step one: Don't talk to your daughter about her body, except to teach her how it works.

    Disagree with that already. If you have a solid relationship with someone, you can talk with them about anything. If you can't talk with them about anything, then you don't have a solid relationship.

    Bottom line: the world *will* judge you based in part on your physical appearance/makeup. There *are* health consequences to poor physical condition. It would be irresponsible of me as a parent to not pass that knowledge along to my children, male or female.

    So talk to her about her HEALTH not her body.
