Parents/Carers: Part 1
Information for parents and carers
Support in a changing world
Being a parent or carer can be challenging - nobody has all the answers. Children today are growing up in a world that is inundated with media messages telling them how to look. They are spending increasing amounts of time online and it can be difficult as a parent to know where to start in promoting positive body image and self-esteem.
This resource is intended to broach all questions and concerns you may have in relation to body image. It includes research on body image, practical tips on promoting positive body image and self-esteem in children and young people and advice on talking to young people about the media and the images they see.
