Body Positive
I really like this website. I think it is an awesome resource! I really liked the section on "Children and Weight". I think it could be valuable for any teacher. In my 3rd grade class I have a girl who told me a coat she was wearing made her look fat. She is the tiniest girl in the class. I think this could be a good resource to use as an early intervention for at-risk students. I also like how this website takes more of a psychological approach to weight.

I also thought that this was a good website to show people the importance of educating children about body image. It is so sad to me that there are little girls that are saying that they are fat when they are like 6 and 7 and still have not matured into thier bodies yet. Let alone the fact that they don't even really know what they are saying they are just repeating what they have heard from the older women around them. Why can we not be a good role model for the children around us when it comes to our bodies?
