Six Ways to Promote Positive Body Image With Your Teen

Dear Parents,

As our teens and pre-teens begin to experience physical growth and the process of puberty, body image becomes front and center. The media broadcasts a view of what “beautiful” is to the world.  And all of society seems to get caught up in that.

As adults, many of us struggle with self-esteem and body image.  If much of our attention is placed on our body image, there is a pretty good chance that our teens will follow suit.  What kind of body image do you have for yourself?  How do you express this?

 One of the first ways that I want to suggest to promote positive body image for your teens is to be gentle and loving with yourself.  Everyone deserves love.  Love is not conditional upon having a certain look.  Accept that for yourself first.  Your teens will get the idea.

To Your Family,
