Being a Positive Model for Teens' Body Image
Youth in Mind Foundation | Fondation Jeunes En Tête
This article from the Youth In Mind Foundation offers guidance for parents, guardians, teachers, and coaches on how to positively influence a teenager's body image. It explores how adults can serve as role models, the importance of reassessing personal beliefs about body image, and how to promote body acceptance by focusing on what the body can do rather than just its appearance. The article provides practical tips and encourages adults to be mindful of their own biases and behaviours to positively impact young people.
