Beyond body positive : a mother's science-based guide for helping girls build a healthy body image / by Boseovski, Janet,author.; Gallagher, Ashleigh,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."This book will help moms teach their 3- to 10-year-old daughters to value and respect their bodies from the start. Girls' body image begins to develop very early in life, and many girls show body image concerns by middle childhood. As the primary influence on how girls feel about their bodies, mothers are in an ideal position to support their daughters' healthy body image development. Research shows that when a mother has a healthy body image, her daughter is much more likely to value and respect her own body. In this book, psychologists Janet Boseovski and Ashleigh Gallagher begin by prompting readers to reflect on their relationships with their own bodies. Science-backed information and activities help facilitate reader insight into their own tendencies toward perfectionism and social comparison, as well as their reservoirs of self-compassion, self-esteem, and other factors related to healthy body image. Armed with this new self-awareness, moms can commit to modeling healthy thoughts, feelings, and behaviors for their growing daughters. The authors then explain how key developmental considerations in early, middle, and late childhood relate to body image and show how moms can guide their girls through each phase of childhood in the context of peer, media, and other cultural influences. With scientific knowledge and intentional, health-focused behaviors, moms can help their daughters develop a self-image that is not tied to physical appearance, learn to accept their bodies despite imperfections, and resist harmful cultural messages about their bodies. Includes a full appendix of activities written and compiled by the authors, with Julianne Peebles"--

Fat talk : parenting in the age of diet culture / by Sole-Smith, Virginia,author.(CARDINAL)418211;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 289-341) and index.Fat talk: an initiation -- "What about health?" The myth of the childhood obesity epidemic ; Separating weight and health ; When "it's not a diet" ; Thin kid privilege ; Beyond the scale -- "Are you sure you want to eat that?" What we teach at the dinner table ; Snack monsters and sugar addicts ; The "nervy mothers" myth ; (Straight, white) dads on diets -- Taking up space. Diet culture in the classroom ; "I got taller and gymnastics got scarier" ; Normalizing puberty ; Social media's tipping point -- How to have the fat talk."By the time they reach kindergarten, most kids have learned that "fat" is bad. As they get older, kids learn to pursue thinness in order to survive in a world that ties our body size to our value. Multibillion-dollar industries thrive on consumers believing that we don't want to be fat. Our weight-centric medical system pushes "weight loss" as a prescription, while ignoring social determinants of health and reinforcing negative stereotypes about the motives and morals of people in larger bodies. And parents today, having themselves grown up in the confusion of modern diet culture, worry equally about the risks of our kids caring too much about being "thin" and about what happens if our kids are fat. Sole-Smith shows how the reverberations of this messaging and social pressures on young bodies continue well into adulthood--and what we can do to fight them. Fat Talk argues for a reclaiming of "fat," which is not synonymous with "unhealthy," "inactive," or "lazy." Talking to researchers and activists, as well as parents and kids across a broad swath of the country, Sole-Smith lays bare how America's focus on solving the "childhood obesity epidemic" has perpetuated a second crisis of disordered eating and body hatred for kids of all sizes. She exposes our society's internalized fatphobia and elucidates how and why we need to stop "preventing obesity" and start supporting kids in the bodies they have. Continuing conversations started by works like Girls & Sex, Under Pressure, and Essential Labor, Fat Talk is a stirring, deeply researched, and groundbreaking book that will help parents learn to reckon with their own body biases, identify diet culture messaging, and ultimately empower their kids to navigate this challenging landscape. Sole-Smith offers an alternative framework for parenting around food and bodies, and a way for us all to work toward a more weight-inclusive world--because it's not our kids, or their bodies, who need fixing." --
