"I'm fat!" "I'm ugly!" "I have nothing to wear that does not make me look gross!"
Despite all your conversations PEP and positive reinforcement, you can not seem to get through to your daughter. She is unhappy with his appearance, and convinced that everybody look carefully. You're sad, if it is one, too focused on his physical appearance and on the other hand, does not appreciate its beauty unique. How can you help your daughter develop a healthy body image?
Good self esteem comes from within. As much as we would like to be able to pour into our children as a bucket, it is not so simple. However, there are ways as parents, we can help you:
Studies show that girls who play sports have a more positive image of the body that girls who do not. It is important for girls to play sports or have a sort of challenge to physical activity, so they learn to appreciate their bodies for what they can do instead of just what they look like. This is very important. If your daughter is not in football or tennis, how about martial arts, ballet or dance? Learning to be worn with pride and a growing sense of accomplishment as we meet the challenges is how self-esteem is built.
Try a reality check. Watch fashion magazines with your daughter and talk about how the photos are airbrushed and how models are made by a team of experts. The reality is no model or actress actually looks like that when she wakes in the morning! Help her understand that these images are not "real." You may want placing a limit on how many of those magazines that you allow your daughter to read. They may have a negative impact on self-image of a young woman.
Emphasize good health over looks. Not every body type has the genetics to be a size 2, but you can be healthy and feel well a size 12. Caring for our skin and hair helps us glow from within. Girls need to find their comfortable weight and love for what they Rather than comparing themselves to others. Insisting on nutrition and exercise will help your child maximize his natural assets. Healthy and happy is always in fashion.
Help her choose clothes that are flattering to her body. The girls want to wear what everyone else is. Unfortunately not all cuts are becoming all body sizes and shapes. Finding good books at the library that show you how to dress for your body shape. Wearing the colors suits your skin tone, hair and eye color can also search your best.
While you are working towards creating a picture of your daughter, remind her siblings and father teasing, insults and rude comments about the appearance of their sister will not be tolerated. Avoid watching TV programs and films that emphasize physical beauty too much or that promote a disrespectful attitude toward women and their bodies.
Finally, if your teen is overweight, institute an exercise / diet program as a family. Start moving walks or runs with it, start a sport together, join a Ladies Only gym. Staying active and exercising regularly increases the state mind and encourages the improvement of activity even before the weight begins to detach, creating a positive cycle. Boy overweight will have a low self-esteem in our thin-obsessed society. Working together as a family – it will go a long way to help your teenage daughter to develop a healthy body image.
