[...] I thought it was neat that I came upon this article by Michael Hyatt, the CEO of Thomas Nelson Publishers and the father of five daughters. He lists four guidelines for modesty in a blog post entitled “Whatever Happened to Modesty”. [...]

I think you are missing the point a little bit. There is absolutely nothing wrong with admiring here beauty, even her body. I think he was referring to outfits that immediately draw attention to other parts of her body, other than her face. Because her face is where she really is. In her eyes is where the true person is, not the rest of her body.

@michaelhyatt – Excellent post. I've got an 11 year-old and we've always done "fashion shows" from the time she was little. We made a big deal out of it and made it also fun. One rule was that if Dad didn't approve, it had to get returned. To this day – we do not have an issue with clothing. I wish more Dads were involved in their daughter's lives in this way. Thank you for your leadership in your family! Thanks – @hudsonkerrigan

PREACH! I could not watch either, it made me sick. I wanted to plead with those girls "leave a little mystery, please!" Thank you for this post.

Amen……I'm the mother of 4 with my twins. I have one daughter that fights me on the issue of clothes. I will never loose on this one. She came home from someone's house with one of their really short skirts on and all I had to say was I wonder what your father will think. She ran in the room and changed her clothes. She handed me the skirt and it went into the trash. My friend thought I was wasteful, but if it is don't proper for my child then it is not proper for any child. We wonder why our children have been attacked in this time and age.

The basic question I should ask myself is: would I want my own daughter to wear this? Whatever I think is not too appropriate for my daughter is probably not too appropriate for other girls.
