“All bodies are good bodies!” – Amy Pence-Brown 

Here are some of Amy’s top tips for raising body positive kids:

  • Read body positive books together as a family.
  • Talk openly with your kids about bodies and food. Actively discuss what you watch and listen to when topics of body-shaming and food-shaming arise.
  • Lead by example – be mindful of the way you talk about your own body in front of your children. Remember that our kids are watching us even when we don’t realize it.

Signs to look for when raising body positive kids and addressing body image concerns:

  • Pay attention to if your kids are eating or not eating.
  • Check your kid’s social media and monitor their phone for any red-flags.
  • Lookout for signs of depression or self-harm.
  • Understand normal teenage behavior.
  • Most importantly – talk to your kids and have an open line of communication!  Ask, “Do you have any questions about your body?”

Above are just a few important tips of many that were shared during my talk with Amy that you can listen to below!
