I'm working on a project about body image and how anxieties about how we look are passed form mothers to daughters. I'd like to hear from mums who have a daughter who is beginning to display signs of body image awareness at a young age.
I'm really interested in the following:
Do you have a body hang-up?
Are you concerned about passing your body worries on to your daughter?
Has your daughter come home from school saying she is fat or unhappy with the way she looks? If so what steps have you taken to make sure negative messages aren't being reinforced at home.
