This book shows mothers and daughters how to build a solid foundation for a healthy body image. For most women, not a day goes by where we are spared from messages that focus on what we currently look like or what we should look like. This kind of messaging begins very early in life, is difficult to avoid, and can have a strong and long-lasting effect on how we see ourselves. Women are bombarded with information about how our bodies "should" be from our families, friends, media, and culture. By the time we become adults, we have firmly established ideas about body image that are detrimental to our physical and mental well-being, daily functioning, and relationships. But it doesn't have to be this way. Through the joint effort of mother and daughter, a solid foundation for a healthy body image can be constructed, which will serve them both throughout their lifespan. Building a Healthy Body Image Together explores your perceptions of your own body and considers some of the factors that have shaped the way you currently feel about your body. This book offers actionable conversation items, tips, and activities to help you approach the topics of self-concept, family and peer influence, and social media and cultural influence with your daughters appropriate to their developmental level.
