Healthy Body Image
It's important to have a healthy body image, but we may not have learned it growing up. Positive body image is a journey for most people - it is not perfect and there are ups and downs as our bodies change and grow over time.
Unfortunately, negative beliefs about our bodies can be passed onto our children, but we can break the cycle. Children pick up on our language, what we say to ourselves, what we say about our own bodies and how we feel in our skin. Be consious of how you are talking about your own body around children as they can mirror similar beliefs.
In this week’s guide, Big Life Journal has created “EveryBODY is Beautiful” poster to help parents and children develop a positive attitude towards their bodies. Hang it up in your home and say these statements out loud, as a reminder that all bodies are beautiful, just the way they are.
