What do you do to help your little love herself?

[Vassilios]

I'm looking to see for what other people are doing so I could possibly implement those things with my little. What I make her do currently is look in the mirror and make her say one thing she likes about herself and elaborate on it for me.

I think that’s a really great thing for you to be doing with her. My Daddy tells me all the time how beautiful he thinks I am and frequently calls me tease jokingly when I’m just sitting there doing nothing. I’ve also heard of people kissing every part that she hates but you love, forcing her to kind of rethink not liking that part of her body. I hope this helps.

Helping her see the parts of herself she hates more practically can help; for example "my legs are too big, I hate them" becomes "my legs carry me through life and are strong".

I would just say be careful about this backfiring. Some people will feel borderline bullied if their caregiver was to make it a rule to stand in front of a mirror and say "X", you can't force someone to love themselves... you can help them sure, but if you push too much you are forcing them and it will have the opposite effect, because they can't see it, they might as well be saying "I am ugly as f**k" in front of the mirror... not very nice is it?

 

It all depends on the personality of course, maybe she doesn't really dislike herself as much she wants you attention and compliments, in which case that sounds perfect.

 

But if she is truly uncomfortable with something (or a few things), an option to avoid this would be asking her what she likes and dislikes about herself. Keep reinforcing what she already likes, avoid her dislikes and sneak in some compliments that will catch her off-guard. By this I mean stuff she obviously has not paid attention to, not mentioned anywhere near her likes and dislikes. Example: she likes her hair but hates her tummy... one day, tell her how cute her hands are and how you think about holding them all the time. She may react by "meh, they are just hands" but you planted a positive seed there and now she will know YOU like them before she had a chance to judge them.

 

I know I sound like a broken record but you should really check out her love language to more efficiently communicate your compliments. For all you know words are the last in her list and you would get there so much faster by giving her a gift that emphasizes that body part or touch her a lot XD

this kind of thing is something that needs professional help and a lot of work. that being said I think a lot of good can come from loving someone enough for both of you.
