Parents' words about bodies and appearance become the template kids use to talk to themselves. What you say aloud about how you look, your weight, your eating habits, your child is listening and learning to do the same thing.
Well, right, kids do what they learn. So I always say to my patients, like, what you say out loud is what your kids are going to say out loud. So if you don't want them saying it out loud, don't you say it out loud, especially as it regards for most women about their body and how they feel about their body and how they look in their body, all this obsession. I'm like, don't talk about it in those ways unless you want your kids to emulate it. So, you know, another habit, right? We learned it from our parents and we perpetuate it with our kids.
Yeah, and it's useful to, you know, today as an adult to look back at things that you think, ways you feel, things you do, and find where you picked up on that. I mean, we absorb and borrow and make other people's thoughts our own all the time. And most certainly when we're impressionable and we're young, those ones tend to stick. And so when we can look at them and really see that they are optional, then again, it can feel so amazing.
