What a positive, encouraging and important column Kelly Senty wrote in the December 28, 2013 News-Herald Let’s Talk column, The confident young woman.
Ms. Senty’s reminder to parents to love and value our children regardless of body size or body shape is especially important in light of the intense media focus, advertisements and popular culture’s obsession with unrealistic and indeed unhealthy weight ideals that sadly girls and boys are bombarded with daily.
Instead of striving for physical “perfection” may we all take to heart Ms. Senty’s message to nurture and encourage our children in healthy, active lifestyles and to be happy with who they are.
