How To Help Your Child Navigate Body Image, Eating, and Mental Health

Help your child navigate body image, eating, and mental health. Every parent wants to give their child the best shot at thriving—emotionally, mentally, and physically. But transitions like starting middle school, high school, or college can be incredibly vulnerable times for kids. They’re facing new environments, social pressures, and changes in their bodies, and for many, this can trigger struggles with body image, disordered eating, or even eating disorders.

Body Image and Self-Care: How They Impact Mental and Physical Health

Body Image and Self-Care: How They Impact Mental and Physical Health

Your feelings about your body significantly affect how you care for it, influencing both mental and physical health. Negative body image can lead to poor self-care habits and health complications.

Body image combines how you see yourself and what you wish to look like, ranging from realistic to distorted ideals. When your body image is realistic and attainable, self-care improves, promoting overall well-being. However, dissatisfaction with appearance may push people toward unhealthy behaviors, such as excessive exercise or restrictive eating, in pursuit of unrealistic goals.

In severe cases like body dysmorphia, no amount of dieting, exercise, or surgery satisfies the desired image, often resulting in dangerous habits and conditions like eating disorders, nutrient deficiencies, osteoporosis, and heart issues. Promoting a healthy body image is key to fostering balanced mental and physical health.
