I really liked this article - not sure it offers any solutions but it was quite thoughtful.

Like me, my seven-year-old daughter loves fashion. Can I protect her from a world of impossible beauty standards?

When she was younger, I took her to a catwalk show to glimpse my working life as a style journalist. But now, as the Ozempic craze takes hold and six-year-olds share skincare routines on TikTok, I wonder whether that was the right thing to do
