Episode 157: «Help Your Daughter Build a Positive Body Image» with Drs. Janet Boseovski and Ashleigh Gallagher
We often associate a poor body image and body dissatisfaction with adolescents and adult women. But the reality that the roots of the negative body image are strengthened much earlier.
In this week’s episodeWe immerse ourselves deeply in science behind body image with dres. Janet Bosoevski and Ashleight Gallagher, co -authors of BEYOND BODY POSITIVE: A guide based on the science of a mother to help girls build a healthy body image. This conversation is an essential list for mothers, caregivers and anyone who seeks to foster a healthier relationship with their body and break the cycle of toxic diet culture.
From early childhood messaging to the impact of the media, peer groups and the influence of parents, our guests provide powerful ideas about how body image is formed throughout the life of a woman. They shed light on why bodily dissatisfaction is not just something that appears in adulthood, is grown from childhood and continues to be reinforced through several social pressures.
Janet and Ashleight also explore the difference between the «positivity of the body», since it is commonly used today and what science really tells us about promoting a Positive body image. They challenge conventional conversation and offer practical strategies backed by research to help girls (and their mothers) develop a healthier and more resistant relationship with their bodies.
If you have ever had problems with body image or worried about the messages your child is receiving about its appearance, this episode is full of processable advice, insightful research and hope of change. We will go beyond «feel good in our bodies» and work towards a culture in which women and girls can concentrate on WHO They are not only as they look.
