The Parent Link: February Edition
Promote Positive Body Image
The topic of body image is usually associated with teenagers, but it’s becoming an issue for younger children now, too. Media and advertising, toys, and peer pressure are among the many factors that make kids question their appearance and build.
But what’s said and seen at home matters, too. Often parents inadvertently contribute to their child’s body-image issues with their comments or through their own weight issues. A parent’s focus on body image can make a child think his or her value is based solely on appearance. In this month’s edition of the Parent Link we offer several tips for promoting healthy body image in your children. Also be sure to check out what movies, music and video games are being released. As always, keep up with current trends and stats as well as our calendar of events for February!
