If you ladies want to show your camera courage feel free to add your own photo to your post 🙂
Powered by Mom Blog & Dove wants us all to feel beautiful!
I know I’m as guilty as the rest of us but when did we all become camera shy? It’s time for us to find our #cameracourage again and love ourselves and fall in the love with the camera!
Since Gradie was born we have taken a LOT of photos, but myself and Jeanna are very seldomly in those photos and they’re even less often of just myself or Jeanna or both of us. That’s why I am going to participate in #cameracourage to make sure we’re in more of the pictures with Gradie.

don’t let others determine your worth.
too many people get bullied or talked down to by boyfriends, husbands, girlfriends, best friends, siblings, parents, etc.
only you can determine your self-worth. everyone has an equal chance at love and happiness & shouldn’t let others ruin that. there are too many bad and negative people in the world who live to bring others down; the good news is there’s also a ton of amazing people in this world that will pick you up and inspire you to be better.
Betty says
do not allow anyone to be negative as a joke – To many of us grew up with families where siblings and even parents were allowed to joke about how we looked. We need to respect our children which will help them respect themselves. It is so sad to see bloggers posting photos of their kids and pointing out something negative that they clearly think is funny. It’s not a joke …it’s bullying Speak up and let the adults know it isn’t right.

I think that is a real challenge because many of us women feel less than positive about our own bodies. I have three daughters and I tried to instill in them the importance of character rather than looks, but with peer pressure, advertising, famous folks, and social media, it is a tall order for any parent. You just have to do your best to make them feel secure and loved; any shape they are.

My 12 yr old daughter is very developed for her age and what mainstream would consider “thick”. I have been very impressed with her positive attitude about her body. I have always told her she is beautiful and that it’s not about being skinny, it’s about being healthy. I think you have to show them as older women and as friends to women our age through our own actions and words how to love ourselves and to accept the body God has given you and how to keep it strong and healthy not skinny and frail.

Teach them confidence in who they are. Let them know they are beautiful the way they are. Let them know they can dream and do whatever they want, there are no bars holding them back.
Bryan E. says
We try to teach our daughters the shallowness of our prevalent consumer culture where standards of beauty are constructed by photoshopping a model’s image on the cover of a magazine; advertising is not reality.
Also, we encourage them to set goals & challenges for themselves that they can realistically achieve; achievement builds self-esteem.
