This week, Kell is joined by accredited practising dietitian, body image coach and Butterfly Foundation presenter Kate McGill for an important conversation about body image in schools.
Together, they explore how body image develops earlier than many of us realise, the impact of the language we use with young people, and practical ways teachers can support positive conversations about bodies from primary school through to Year 12.
In this episode, you'll learn:
• Why body image conversations matter in every classroom
• Common language traps and how to reframe them
• How body dissatisfaction affects both boys and girls
• How the NSW K-10 PDHPE Syllabus supports this learning
Whether you're teaching in primary or secondary school, this episode will leave you feeling more confident in supporting the whole child.
