Helping your preteen girl to develop a positive body image is one of the best gifts you can give her, and can have a long-lasting effect on her future.
Did you know that girls as young as 8 years old are at risk for poor body image? In fact, the impact of media on body image is much stronger for girls than for boys. These troubling truths are concerning for many parents of young pre-teens.
A girl’s body image consists of feelings and perceptions of their own body. Young girls become preoccupied early on with how their body looks and how it compares to others. Unfortunately, more and more pre-teens are exposing themselves to unrealistic body standards at younger ages through TV, movies, magazines, Youtube, and the internet.
This creates an overwhelming pressure to look like those models online, leading them to feel like they are not good enough. By engaging and liking photos of women that have been digitally altered or photoshopped, girls are constantly comparing themselves to these standards as well as their peers. Moreover, this preoccupation with weight can eventually lead to eating disorders in young girls.
This is why it is of the utmost importance to educate and empower girls about the importance of feeling good and confident in themselves. It is crucial to instill a positive self-image and self-worth as a protective factor against anxiety or even eating disorders.
