This episode of the Making After School Cool podcast tackles the subject of discussing body diversity with youth and features my conversation with Pam Luk, Founder at Ember & Ace. The perceptions of body image changes when kids go through puberty, is shaped by the media, and what others say about beauty standards. During this time in their lives youth need educators, parents and other adults in their lives to do things to help support a child's healthy body image.
During this Podcast you will learn more about the following:
- Advice parents can give to youth regarding how they could help kids love their bodies.
- Why is it important for parents to be aware of how they speak around youth regarding beauty standards and body types?
- Why is it important to use the term body diversity to when discussing how people come in all shapes and sizes
- Why it is important for parents and other caring adults to have small conversations with youth concerning different body types as well as listen to kids concerns regarding the issues.
