What is Body Positive
๐ Your child practices self-acceptance, and welcomes their body and the way they look. When your child has a positive body image, it improves their well-being and self-esteem.
๐ Your child practices self-care as they experience body satisfaction. They eat well, sleep well and exercise at a healthy level.
๐ Your child has body awareness on how to keep a healthy posture, both standing and sitting, to minimise their hunching and risk for scoliosis
โ
SOCIAL moments where your child canโฆ
๐ develop their socio-emotional skills to read social cues and practice empathy
๐ take the courage to voice their thoughts and feelings in a safe space
๐ learn to pause and listen to focus on themselves
๐ hold their boundaries while also respecting othersโ boundaries
๐ be courageous even when they feel scared and uncertain
๐ be resilient and push themselves a little more even when it is hard (the magic happens outside our comfort zone)
๐ make their own risk assessment (eg: does my body feel safe in this situation, am I being safe for myself and others)
๐ appreciate their freedom and be responsible for their actions and consequences
PHYSICAL activities that allow your child to โฆ
๐ practice more body awareness (good posture, move with muscles instead of joints, bear weight on their wrist / feet)
๐ strengthen their muscles (children with a strong core are more resilient)
๐ improve their coordination (integrating the left and right brain)
๐ enhance their control and balance (regulate the body, regulate the mind)
๐ stretch their muscles and joints (stretch the body, stretch their mental capacity)
