Body Image

MICHELLE KENNEY, M. ED
About this episode

When our children struggle with their body image, it can feel like we need to over boast their confidence to combat it. But what if instead, we simply empathized and provided a listening ear?  We're talking about how to guide our kids into having positive body image from babyhood and how to manage all the feelings that may come up around bodies. Join us on our Facebook community group to continue the discussion, support us on Patreon for extras and follow Michelle on TikTok for quick video tips everyday!
