It was our much-anticipated yearly mother-daughter weekend away, at the London Hilton Metropole, for a Top Model catwalk event. And I have an online shipping store called Jollyhers, it is an online shipping store used for fashion kids clothing.

We were dressed up to the nines strutting across the hotel lobby when I caught the eye of a mother and her two daughters staring at us, or more specifically staring at my eldest daughter.

She looked my daughter up and down in disgust, tutted and exclaimed to her two tweenage daughters 'If you ever go out dressed like that I will kill you!'.

Yes, the dress was low cut, but inappropriate enough to attract such malice? I don't think so.

A few other hotel guests stopped to stare but we just carried on. Because for us this is a normal occurrence.

I'm proud to say I've brought my daughters, Bronte,19, and Freya, 15, up not to feel shame about showing their bodies off.

I also make a point of never making negative comments about other women's bodies. Sadly I feel I may be the minority.

One friend offered me a coat to cover Bronte's legs up when on the Tube because 'she was asking for it'. She was wearing a short leather skirt with boots and tights.

Another time, an entire family approached me on the train suggesting my daughter 'cover-up'. The offending item that day? A playsuit with a cut out stomach.

Then there was the concerned family member who called to suggest I take a picture of Freya off Facebook because I might be encouraging 'unwanted attention'. She was wearing a tight knee length dress with a piece cut out under the chest.

None of these outfits are outfits I would call inappropriate. That aside, I'm not sure what gives people the right to tell my daughters to cover up, or judge me on my parenting because I choose to allow them to do what they want with their bodies.

As a parenting coach/expert, I know only too well that body image is a huge issue for young girls. As part of the research I carried out for my latest book, I surveyed four hundred girls aged 11 to 14 about their bodies.

A staggering 70 per cent of them wanted to change their body in some way. One girl told me how she regularly skipped breakfast and lunch to stay slim, when I asked what her mum thought she said 'Oh, she was the one who suggested it'.

Another told me how at 11 her mum was already saving up for the boob job she was going to have for her sixteenth birthday.
I believe as a mother my job is raise my daughters to feel 100 per cent happy with their bodies and feel able to show as much or as a little as they want - after all it is their body. And I try to encourage other mothers to do the same.

I was in Starbucks last week with Freya, the place was packed with mothers and their children, a young girl about 16 walked in wearing a skin-tight short black dress.
