[quote=Anonymous]Just saw something helpful on this from a therapist, went back to look and sharing. A little cheesy but I found it helpful. Don't celebrate them for their appearance - celebrate them when they listen to their bodies, when they are lighting up about things they love or choosing to do things to take care of themselves and backing away from things that don't feel good to them. Teach them gratitude for all the things their body does - the way their eyes give them sight, their voice allows them to communicate to others, their arms to hug, their face for sharing with the world what they feel. And modeling for them because the opposite of poor body image isn't believing that you are beautiful. It is believing that your presence is more valuable than your appearance. [/quote]
