Brittany Gibbons has a young daughter and wanted to give her the necessary self-confidence and confidence in herself to protect her from all these negative consequences. She published her tips on Huffington Post and we wanted to share a few of them here:
1
Keep telling your child how great, creative, brave, funny, clever, and wonderful they are. Be careful not to use (only) words like "beautiful" and "pretty" in order not to reduce the compliments to the looks.
2
Also run around naked at home and show your child how normal it is and that you never have to be ashamed of your body.
3
Tell him or her that everyone deserves friendship, family, love and all the possibilities in life. No matter how you look.
4
Enjoy food. Try out a wide variety of dishes together, try all kinds of foods and enjoy them. Food is definitely not a bad enemy, it is essential for survival and, on top of that, simply delicious!
