How many of us have looked in the mirror and not liked what we see? 

The focus girls place on their appearance as a measure of self-worth can be an issue for many adolescents, and even younger children.

In this episode of Illumine for Parents, Principal of Brisbane Girls Grammar School, Ms Jacinda Euler, discusses this important topic with Associate Dean of Wellbeing, Dr Jody Forbes.
