[quote=Anonymous]I was always super petite growing up and am still very short at 5 ft. I can vividly remember stepping on the scale in the beginning of 6th grade was something like 60-65 lbs. Everyone's body is different and grows at different rates. I think just celebrating the diversity in bodies and celebrating her own body and exploring the changes she will be going through is important. There's lots of great books on it now but honestly the "body book" -american girls was one I read and I really liked it and liked the pictures (they aren't explicit but it was helpful for me to read). I think practicing body positivity and positive self-talk is important so look for ways to encourage her body positivity: modeling it yourself with your own body is HUGE (and hard) and modeling it with how you talk about others and their bodies.[/quote]
