Season 3 premiere! We’re kicking off the season with our first body-positive parenting in real life question, from a listener wondering how to handle peer and friend influences on her middle school-aged daughter’s body image. We’re joined by the highly accomplished Dr. Phillippa Diedrichs to learn about the research on the causes and consequences of low body confidence, and what interventions really do help improve body image. We cover boutique fitness classes, athleisure, bonding through body talk, an exercise for parents to work on their own body image, and more.
