Speaking at the China Exchange in London, the 43-year-old
actress opened up on her struggles raising an adolescent child and her
fears her daughter could be brainwashed into seeing provocativeness as
empowering.
'It is concerning because I think there is a very denigrating set of imagery and behaviours happening. Women are so powerful and so capable and to have it inferred that you have to generate yourself in any way to be likeable is abhorrent to me. With my daughter I try to find a balance of being an example for her as a woman who ... works and tries not to go out in public naked.'I am her mum but at the same time I want her to express herself. Sometimes it is hard when she is wearing something really, really short and a lot of make-up and I have to resist the instinct as I want her to experiment and find her own identity.
'It is an interesting balance right now being a mother of a coming-of-age girl as there are a lot of conflicting messages in our culture.'

But u v d power and love to correct her
As a mum u sure v d power and love to change her
No be only to worry, she should do something about it. Linda take note!
Leaving her to herown responsibility is good but dn't allow it all bcus she's still young n dat's why u'r there to give her direction on the path to go n not make mistakes.
Hmmmmm Toh
The society is sending the wrong message and alot of people are getting naked in the name of fashion
When better prick enter her body she go rest, just leave her for now
Very Normal
-D great anonymous now as Vivian Reginalds
Oh well...
...merited happiness
I wish she can start by teaching her about the words of God. Probably that's the last thing on her mind
But this picture right here though, the girl's thighs are practically naked. Come on!
Good mum
Getting them to know God while young has also proven to be a great tool...
BETTER START CORRECTING HER MISTAKES BEFORE IT'S LATE
AUNTY LINDA....
Is she working who buys the clothes for her?
Noted
It's normal,just make her ur best friend
Lib addict#just passing#
she go find her identity inside teenage pregnancy
She must be ashamed of herself for saying that she cannot control her daughter.... Na wah ohhhh!!! Its the hand you give your child she will follow....
Water will find its level
I understand her dilemma. Here in Africa we are free to correct as we deem fit. But over there when you correct your child too much it becomes a problem.
Ermmmm miss? Who buys her clothes? Try changing her wardrobe gradually.
LIB JUDGE
We hear u! better do something about it now.
says, Genevieve.
