I don't feel stressing that outside beauty isn't important is a right thing to do either, there is a happy medium. It is okay to tell your kids that they are beautiful, but other comments should be there too to develop a healthy self esteem.
I am sorry your mother didn't compliment you, they should tell you that you are beautiful to them for many reasons. Doing this and teaching them how to be sexy is two different things. I tell my daughter all the time how proud I am of her on her talents, etc, and if she when she gets her hair cut, I tell her it looks nice. But I am not going to teach her how to turn on a guy because it is the real world and she might as well learn at a young age.
