What a beautiful child!
We all know there is no such thing as an ugly baby, but what makes a child truly beautiful? This lens will explore that subject from a different point of view than what one might find at a modeling agency, beauty pageant or Hollywood audition.
A beautiful child ...
sees the good in others.
She does not see the color of his skin, she sees the honesty in his eyes.
He does not see the disabled limb, he sees the desire to win on her face.
From the time we are born, we learn to judge other people based on their appearance. Subtle hints from parents, family, friends, the media and other bias form our opinions of what is normal, what is pretty, what is strong.
The beautiful child sees past that to the person within the body that is different.

she will do an extra chore to make an extra dollar to give away
A beautiful child ...
is giving and considerate.
She will share half of her sandwich, even if she's really hungry, and it is her favorite, if you forgot yours.
He will donate money to charity that he has worked hard for and earned himself, to honor a family member.
She will give away clothes she can still fit into and toys she rarely plays with to someone who may not be as fortunate.
He will sacrifice a chance to do something he would really enjoy, to do a good deed for others in need.

she will stand up for her beliefs, even if it means she stands alone
A beautiful child ...
stands up for her beliefs.
He will defend his siblings in public, even if he argues with them all day at home.
She will bring home a stray so that it doesn't get hit by a car, so that it can be properly reported lost and hopefully find its way home.
He will tell his friends what he thinks and believes, even if it isn't cool, or the popular opinion.
She will fight for the underdog, stand up to a bully, and defend someone who is picked on.

show them the beauty in all things
What is the secret?
How can I raise a beautiful child?
The answer is simple, yet probably the hardest thing you will ever do in your life.
You have to be the person you want your child to grow up to be.
You have to show them how to see past differences, give from the heart, and support those who need it.
"Do as I say, not as I do," does not work. Only by modeling the behavior you hope to encourage, will you enhance the inner beauty of a person you love.
