What Culture is Doing to our Kids

Thank you Chris Sturdy for sharing this TEDtalk on Twitter today. How do we teach both girls and boys to be the best versions of themselves, not to succumb to our cultures obsession with image? And teach the parents the same?


I always worried about this when my girls were going through elementary, junior high and high school. To this day I tell them how beautiful they are, inside and out. I know they don't believe me, because I'm "the mom". But you tell me, if they put a video out there and asked "am I ugly?" how would you respond?

And still I wonder, would my own girls ask that question of themselves?
