Raising girls who like themselves (in a world that says they shouldn’t)
As women, we spend so much of our lives disliking things about ourselves. Our bodies, our looks, our laugh, the list goes on… So when Mel’s 8-year-old daughter started telling her the things she didn’t like about herself, she thought, ‘nooooo, you’re too little! Stay innocent for longer please!’ Sadly she’s not the only one. Alarming research has found that more than half of all Aussie girls between 8-9, don’t like their body. That’s just heartbreaking. Luckily today’s guests are here to help. Author Kasey Edwards has teamed up with her husband Dr Christopher Scanlon to write Raising Girls Who Like Themselves, and they join us to share all their advice.
