DESCRIPTION:Research from The Girls’ Index™\, Ruling Our eXperiences (
 ROX)’s large-scale national survey of girls in grades 5-12\, shows that 
 88% of girls feel pressure to be pretty. 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. The goal isn’t to never have another negative body image thoug
 ht! While that would be wonderful\, it’s likely not realistic. 								\

 				Did You Know? Building a Healthy Body Image Is One Topic Covered in th
 e Evidence-Based ROX Program for Girls! We know that girls thrive when the
 y have healthy environments both at home and at school. That’s why our R
 OX Program for Girls Facilitators create healthy environments at school th
 at include lessons on building a healthy body image for the girls in their
  ROX Group. When these positive lessons are taught at home and at school\,
  our girls will have an easier time building these important skills.
