The Girls’ Index also shows tha t girls who like their bodies “the way they are” are nearly 10 times m ore likely to be confident. In short? A healthy body image matters when we think about raising confident girls. As we gear up for back-to-school sho pping\, this is especially important to keep in mind as our girls enter fi tting rooms or try on clothes at home. It’s no surprise that trying on c lothes can bring up negative thoughts about our bodies\, we’ve all been there\, right? So what can you do to support the girl(s) in your life? The Girl Experts at ROX have three key strategies to help your girl build a h ealthy body image this back-to-school shopping season. (Bonus: these tips will help you and your girl!) 1. Be aware of how you speak about your own body\, or other people’s bodies in front of your girl.The truth is: girl s are listening and learning from the example we set. If we speak negative ly about our own bodies\, or other people’s bodies\, she’ll learn to t hink and speak negatively about her own body\, too. She’ll learn that he r external appearance is being judged by other people\, and that she\, too \, should be judgemental of her own body’s appearance. Spend the next we ek with this at the top of your mind. Notice if you’re about to say some thing negative about your body\, or someone else’s’. Then? Show yourse lf some compassion and gently stop yourself from saying the comment out lo ud. That’s it! We’re simply catching the negative comment before we sa y it. Being able to notice our own thoughts and words is the first step to being more intentional with how we speak about our bodies\, especially in front of our girls. The good news? The more you practice this\, the easie r it becomes! Let’s make negative body comments a thing of the past.

Teach your girl to identify and value her internal characteristics mo re than her external appearance.In a world that stresses the importance of our appearance\, let’s commit to changing the game for our girls. How? Teach your girl to identify and value her internal characteristics more th an her outward appearance. We want girls to learn to value who they are as a person rather than valuing what she looks like. Start to point out when you notice your girl doing something of value. For instance\, you could s ay things like: That was a very smart observation! I love what a critical thinker you are.You should be proud of your hard work studying for that ma th test. It was impressive.I love how you make us all laugh. You have such a great sense of humor!You showed such great leadership on the soccer fie ld today. You were able to lift the team’s spirits and keep everyone fee ling motivated!When we point out these internal traits that girls demonstr ate (intelligence\, work ethic\, humor\, leadership\, etc.)\, we get to sh ow her that those are valuable traits\, that who she is and how she acts i s valuable. BONUS ROX TIP! Have her write down an affirmation and put it s omewhere she sees often\, like on the bathroom mirror\, or perhaps on her nightstand. It could say something like: I am smart\, I am brave\, or I am kind. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n 3.

Teach your girl to value her body for all that it does for her\, rather than placing importance on what it looks like. H ow do you start this? Role model it! When you’re doing something with yo ur girl\, you could say something like: I’m so grateful I’m able to wa lk around the mall with you\, having two capable legs is a privilege.Isn ’t it cool that our stomachs digest our food and turn it into nutrients and energy?I’m grateful to have strong arms to carry these shopping bags !I’m grateful for deep breaths that help calm me down.The key to buildin g a healthier body image\, both for you and your girl\, is to know that it ’s about building resilience. We live in a world where negative body ima ge triggers are everywhere\, so having a negative body image thought is no rmal. Once we start to build these positive body image practices\, however \, we are able to build strength and resilience for when the negative thou ghts happen. The goal is that we’re able to notice the negative thought\ , reframe it\, and move on quicker instead of going down a negative though t spiral. The goal isn’t to never have another negative body image thoug ht! While that would be wonderful\, it’s likely not realistic. \ n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Did You Know?

The Girls’ Index also shows tha t girls who like their bodies “the way they are” are nearly 10 times m ore likely to be confident. In short? A healthy body image matters when we think about raising confident girls. As we gear up for back-to-school sho pping\, this is especially important to keep in mind as our girls enter fi tting rooms or try on clothes at home. It’s no surprise that trying on c lothes can bring up negative thoughts about our bodies\, we’ve all been there\, right? So what can you do to support the girl(s) in your life? The Girl Experts at ROX have three key strategies to help your girl build a h ealthy body image this back-to-school shopping season. (Bonus: these tips will help you and your girl!) 1. Be aware of how you speak about your own body\, or other people’s bodies in front of your girl.The truth is: girl s are listening and learning from the example we set. If we speak negative ly about our own bodies\, or other people’s bodies\, she’ll learn to t hink and speak negatively about her own body\, too. She’ll learn that he r external appearance is being judged by other people\, and that she\, too \, should be judgemental of her own body’s appearance. Spend the next we ek with this at the top of your mind. Notice if you’re about to say some thing negative about your body\, or someone else’s’. Then? Show yourse lf some compassion and gently stop yourself from saying the comment out lo ud. That’s it! We’re simply catching the negative comment before we sa y it. Being able to notice our own thoughts and words is the first step to being more intentional with how we speak about our bodies\, especially in front of our girls. The good news? The more you practice this\, the easie r it becomes! Let’s make negative body comments a thing of the past. Tru st us\, everyone benefits from this! \n \n \n \n \n \ n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n 2. Teach your girl to identify and value her internal characteristics mo re than her external appearance.In a world that stresses the importance of our appearance\, let’s commit to changing the game for our girls. How? Teach your girl to identify and value her internal characteristics more th an her outward appearance. We want girls to learn to value who they are as a person rather than valuing what she looks like. Start to point out when you notice your girl doing something of value. For instance\, you could s ay things like: That was a very smart observation! I love what a critical thinker you are.You should be proud of your hard work studying for that ma th test. It was impressive.I love how you make us all laugh. You have such a great sense of humor!You showed such great leadership on the soccer fie ld today. You were able to lift the team’s spirits and keep everyone fee ling motivated!When we point out these internal traits that girls demonstr ate (intelligence\, work ethic\, humor\, leadership\, etc.)\, we get to sh ow her that those are valuable traits\, that who she is and how she acts i s valuable. BONUS ROX TIP! Have her write down an affirmation and put it s omewhere she sees often\, like on the bathroom mirror\, or perhaps on her nightstand. It could say something like: I am smart\, I am brave\, or I am kind. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n 3. Teach your girl to value her body for what it does for her\, rather than what it looks like.This is a key body image strategy. Teach your girl to value her body for all that it does for her\, rather than placing importance on what it looks like. H ow do you start this? Role model it! When you’re doing something with yo ur girl\, you could say something like: I’m so grateful I’m able to wa lk around the mall with you\, having two capable legs is a privilege.Isn ’t it cool that our stomachs digest our food and turn it into nutrients and energy?I’m grateful to have strong arms to carry these shopping bags !I’m grateful for deep breaths that help calm me down.The key to buildin g a healthier body image\, both for you and your girl\, is to know that it ’s about building resilience. We live in a world where negative body ima ge triggers are everywhere\, so having a negative body image thought is no rmal. Once we start to build these positive body image practices\, however \, we are able to build strength and resilience for when the negative thou ghts happen. The goal is that we’re able to notice the negative thought\ , reframe it\, and move on quicker instead of going down a negative though t spiral.
