The Body Myth – Raising Body Positive Teens ft. Signe Darpinian
Signe Darpinian joins the Body Myth for a conversation about catching changes in behavior before they become eating full blown eating disorders, how body image is contextual, the social media-parent-peer effect on teens, helping kids become critical viewers of the media, and treating our bodies with respect even when we don’t like them very much.
