My 11-year old daughter has a real heart for modesty. A girl who truly loves God, Tia cares deeply about how she dresses; not only is her body modest, her heart is, too. Out of her concern for modest living and dressing, she wrote the following article (her sister, Nadia, 8, gave her input):
God wants you to be modest. Love God enough to be modest.
A girl should not look like a boy. A girl should look like a girl. A modest girl should not get a boy to look at her. Don't wear stuff that shows off your body. Modesty at it's core is dressing to honor God rather than dressing to draw attention to yourself.
Your dress should be modest and your shirts and your skirts, too. A girl should not wear short shorts or short skirts or short dresses. Wear modest skirts and modest dresses. And, if you have to wear shorts, wear modest shorts. And wear modest swimsuits, too. Don't let your clothes be too tight, see-through or short.
If I can be modest you can, too. So be modest.
