The essential body positivity handbook for parents of children and teens by powerhouse change-maker and body positivity activist Taryn Brumfitt and Dr Zali Yager. Imagine a world where children dont feel held back by their bodies. Where we judge each other by who we are being and what we are doing rather than what we look like. Where women dont feel like they have to get smaller and men dont believe they have to get bigger to feel loved and valued. Body image and the associated issues of weight food and physical activity are hot topics in our families. Research shows that 70 per cent of adolescents experience distress in relation to their body image and up to 90 per cent of adult women would like to change something about their bodies. How did we get to this place of constant criticism about our own bodies and how can we get out of it?
