FAN FAVORITE: How to nurture BODY LOVE & Neutrality for our young kids w/Dr. Morgan Francis
This week we are re-releasing one my personal favorite conversations and a fan favorite episode! This is a MUST listen (or re-listen!)
Body image and and neutrality is something I didn't really learn about until I was an adult, after struggling for years. Especially after having my own kids I began to wonder, how do we do better for our kids so that they don't have to struggle with the same body image issues like most of us did as kids? On this weeks episode we dive into the topic and address some important questions!
How can we talk to our kids about their body early on & in their teens to promote body neutrality?
What are things we should avoid doing or saying to nurture body positivity in our daughters?
Our kids are growing up surrounded by social media and are consuming damaging content for their views on themselves and their body. How can we help them avoid the comparison cycle of unrealistic body image on the internet?
How can we help empower our daughters to stand up for themselves when their body is being negatively talked about by classmates, friends, family, or strangers?
What are signs that we should be aware of that may indicate our child is struggling with an eating disorder?
