    69. Nurturing Positive Body Image: What Parents Need to Know
    Aug 19 2025

    In this episode of The Parent-Teacher Project, we sit down with dietitian and body image advocate Meg McClintock to discuss how parents and educators can help children develop a healthy, positive relationship with their bodies. From the impact of social media and “selfie culture” to the subtle messages children absorb at home, Meg shares practical strategies for fostering resilience in young people.

    Discussion Points:

    • What “positive body image” really means — and why it’s not about constant self-admiration
    • How today’s culture of constant photos and video calls affects self-perception
    • The influence of early comments and compliments on a child’s self-worth
    • The pressures boys and girls face in a world of curated, filtered images
    • Why resilience is more realistic than complete protection from body image pressures
    • Practical tips for parents to create a “safe harbour” at home
    • How to model positive body talk and shift the focus from appearance to what bodies can do

  • 68. The Parent's Guide to Emotion Coaching

    68. The Parent's Guide to Emotion Coaching
    Jun 27 2025
    In this episode of The Parent-Teacher Project, host Lucia Garcia sits down with Manal Azzi, school counsellor at Tangara School for Girls and a therapist with over 15 years of experience. Together, they explore how parents can support their children's emotional development, model emotional regulation, and respond constructively to the emotional challenges children face at home and school. Discussion Points: Why Emotions Matter: Emotions are vital for healthy relationships and self-understanding. Ignoring them can lead to future challenges. Emotion Coaching Steps: Notice your child’s emotions, use them as a chance to connect, listen with empathy and validate, help them name the emotion, set limits and find solutions together. What Parents Can Do: Be calm, consistent, and compassionate. Model healthy emotional behaviour and avoid dismissive phrases. Supporting Teens: Teens need non-judgemental support and space to talk. If big emotions are frequent, it may be time to seek professional help. Talking with Boys: Teach emotional language early. Use daily moments to show that feelings are normal and safe to express. Resources Mentioned: • Dr. John Gottman’s Emotion Coaching model • Upcoming TeenSTAR training: Register HERE Join the Conversation We'd love to hear your experiences. What has helped you stay calm and connected when your child is having a meltdown? Have there been moments where simply acknowledging your child’s feelings changed the outcome of a situation? Reflection can often bring clarity, and your insights might be just what another parent needs to hear. Join the conversation with us online. You can comment on our latest post or message us.
