This book will help moms teach their 3 to -year-old daughters to value and respect their bodies from the start.
Girls amp rsquo body image begins to develop very early in life, and many girls show body image concerns by middle childhood. As the primary influence on how girls feel about their bodies, mothers are in an ideal position to support their daughters amp rsquo healthy body image development. Research shows that when a mother has a healthy body image, her daughter is much more likely to value and respect her own body.
In this book, psychologists Janet Boseovski and Ashleigh Gallagher begin by prompting readers to reflect on their relationships with their own bodies. Science-backed information and activities help facilitate reader insight into their own tendencies toward perfectionism and social comparison, as well as their reservoirs of self-compassion, self-esteem, and other factors related to healthy body image. Armed with this new self-awareness, moms can commit to modeling healthy thoughts, feelings, and behaviors for their growing daughters.
The authors then explain how key developmental considerations in early, middle, and late childhood relate to body image and show how moms can guide their girls through each phase of childhood in the context of peer, media, and other cultural influences. With scientific knowledge and intentional, health-focused behaviors, moms can help their daughters develop a self-image that is not tied to physical appearance, learn to accept their bodies despite imperfections, and resist harmful cultural messages about their bodies.
Includes a full appendix of activities written and compiled by the authors, with Julianne Peebles.
