Can body image really begin at age 3? According to the research – yes. And what parents say and do in those early years can be a powerful protective force. In this episode, we’re joined by Dr. Janet Boseovski and Dr. Ashleigh Gallagher, authors of Beyond Body Positive: A Mother’s Science-Based Guide for Helping Girls Build a Healthy Body Image. They share evidence-based insights on how mothers – and all caring adults – can support girls in developing a healthy relationship with their bodies. We explore the major influences on body image, the impact of toys and movies, and why improving awareness of our own self-talk matters so much. You'll walk away with practical tools you can start using today to reduce risk for body dissatisfaction and disordered eating. This conversation offers powerful strategies for parents with children at any age – all grounded in science and compassion.
