Don't worry about it. I did it when I was a kid and so did my sisters. She's just exploring her body! She'll know the limitations when she cinches it too tight!! Yeah, it'll hurt and she'll quit! No, it's not about body image! She's just playing around and seeing what her body does! It's normal, contrary to popular opinion! And no, it won't squish her interanl organs!! The brain has a mechanism that shuts the body down if it feels it's going to be hurt!

This method of gaining a thin waist has been around for centuries. It is now common knowledge that men are subconsciously attracted to females with a 0.7 waist to hip ratio. She may or may not know this, but women have been cinching in their waists for eons. Mom and her sisters did it when they were girls, she taught me to do it when I was a teen (didn't work for me because I am extremely short-waisted and almost punctured a lung with my lower rib). If she is not short-waisted, I think it is alright just as long as it doesn't impair her breathing. Why don't you and she take a run with her wearing the belt and if she is extremely short of breath when you finish - the belt is too tight.
Just something to think about. Good luck and I hope this helps.

Your English is better than my French!
She may just be feeling under pressure to be skinny or fashionable as cinched in waists are very popular at the moment. Make sure she's not doing herself any harm and ask her why she feels she wants to do this.

i did that once when i was 12 i did that so i wouldnt get fat and stay thin maybe you should talk to ur daughter and tell her thats not a good idea if she has a belt that tight and it wouldnt get you skinny you would have to eat better and get more exercise or you can jog around the block as daughter and mom?? so you both can get exercise

It seems as though your daughter wants to look older .Did you talk to her? Let her know she has a wonderful body as is.
You can't forbid her from doing this as she will just do it when you cannot see.If it doesn't end in a few months, she may need to see a doctor or therapist.
Your English is just fine!

It sounds like she is trying to mimic a corset and use it to look thinner. Talk to her about how she feels about her body and explain to her that at 12, she has a lot of changes that will happen and her body will change on its own.....do not worry about how her body looks now - she has her entire life to do that. Help her learn to love her body as it is and boost her self esteem.

Bonjour!
I wouldn't be too concerned unless she was having trouble breathing or if she is in pain. If she is exeriencing pain, then have her loosen it a bit. I'm sure she's just wanting to show off her small waistline and accentuate it as much as possible.
Good luck with her!

May be a fetish or just some crazy theory that it will make her thinner. Talk to her that it can damage her internal organs.

She has to wear it looser or don't wear it at all. It is not good for the belt to press on her stomach.
