Margo Maine on body image distress.(IN THE KNOW)
[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED]
One of the most powerful influences on a daughters body image is what she learns from her parents, says psychologist Margo Maine. Dad's comments about female appearance and Mom's anxiety over her own "imperfect" body and looks can erode a daughter's healthy body image. In The Body Myth: Adult Women and the Pressure to Be Perfect (John Wiley & Sons, 2005, coauthor Joe Kelly),
Maine shows how we can strengthen a girl's body confidence as we rebuild our own. And see page 6 to learn how to help a girl with an eating disorder.
