Our kids are always learning from us. Our words and our example shape who they will become, a reality established by God as he has created individuals and families. This means that for better or for worse, our kids are watching, and what they see in us and from us will play a powerful role in shaping who they are. The Journal of Health Psychology is hammering this point home. They’ve found that there’s some kind of connection between a mother who is frequently engaged with social media, specifically taking, editing, and posting selfies, and a daughter who is interested in having cosmetic surgery. It’s believed that these daughters have adopted a kind of dissatisfaction with their appearance that they inherited from watching their mom’s own dissatisfaction. Parents, we live in an appearance obsessed culture. Your obsessions will influence your kid’s obsessions. We urge you to find your identity in the rock, Jesus Christ, and not in your appearance.
