Episode 3: Building a Better Body Image
As mothers, we tell our children that it's the inside that really counts, but as human beings, we know that their outsides are going to be judged over and over (and over) again. So how do we raise children that have high enough self esteem to rebound when the world tells them they aren't as perfect as their mothers have led them to believe? And how do we help them understand that their bodies and beauty aren't even close to the most important things, while preparing them for the reality that not everyone is going to agree with that sentiment? It's a tough one, but we tackle it with a super frank (and at times embarrassing!) discussion on this episode.
