- Speak out about the body images your child sees in the media.
Romper reported:
“Children don’t need our help to develop a negative body image,” Emily Lindin of The UnSlut Project says. “The messages they receive from advertisements, friends, and the media do that work anyway.” Because of this, Lindin says it’s important to counteract those harmful messages.”
It’s important to resist the temptation to put a poor reflection on the supermodels we see in advertising as well.
Explain to your child that the models are just one version of a woman, but as we look all around us we can see there are many different versions, and whichever one you turn out to be is perfect.
