There are two categories of people who are characterized by traditional feelings about their appearance, these are women and teenagers. Accordingly, it is most difficult for teenage girls. They sincerely believe that they are simply ugly, and are ready to go to the mirror 50 times a day to make sure of this.
And what to do with it?
Just trying to convince them is pretty useless. And they will not listen, and even if they listen, they will remain with their opinion.
However, there is a good experience of one of the parents (remote student), with which we want to introduce you. The story went like this:
“My teenage daughter got into the habit of running from the mirror, spinning there all day with an unhappy face and complaining about how fat she is. Well, yes, plump, but what to complain about? They began to drive her away from the mirror, and she was indignant: “Why? I have the right!» In order not to argue in vain, I allowed, but with certain conditions, namely, I formulated the following rules …
- For each approach to the mirror — three squats.
- You can complain about your appearance, but only with a smile on your face.
So far the results are wonderful. He comes to the mirror less often, squats are a great sport, and complaining with a smile on your face is even fun, because it doesn’t look like complaining at all!”
