Ways of stopping media effects of body image

This site shows how to help children not to worry about body image ''Analyze the media. Consider talking to your children about unrealistic media images. For example, talk about the ads you see. Ask such questions as, "How are the women and men portrayed in the commercials? Are they all thin? How are overweight people portrayed?" Teach you kids that in reality there are lots of different body shapes and the goal is to take care of yours with healthy eating and activity. For help, use resources from organizations such as Child and Family Canada, which has an activity that explores how the media affects perceptions.''
