From Barbies to Britney Spears, developing girls are bombarded with sounds and images that make the process of body acceptance and the healthy self-esteem related to it difficult in today's culture. Journalist Richardson and Rehr, a professor of women's and adolescent psychology, provide practical ideas to help parents examine their role in body acceptance and become a positive influence in the lives of their daughters. Their book is organized into thirteen chapters that look at various aspects of body image development, not only through the role of parents but also through emotions, basic health and eating habits, safety issues, and positive sexuality. Within each chapter short, enumerated advice is presented. Tip #29 is to encourage reading. The advice uses a variety of tactics from talking about things, such as deconstructing images and discussing feelings, to doing things, such as learning to swim and remembering old jump-rope rhymes. Readers can focus on certain topics such as sexuality, read the whole book through, or pick out an idea here or there for reflection. This book's conservative tendencies might not be embraced by all readers, but the ideas are solid and can be adapted and applied according to personal tastes. Richardson and Rehr write a well-organized and thoroughly thought-out handbook for any parent, teacher, or professional looking for practical, realistic ways to help teenage girls develop a healthy body image. This book is highly recommended. Notes. 2001, Quill/HarperCollins, 225p, $13 pb. Ages Adult. Reviewer:Karen JensenVOYA, December 2001 (Vol. 24, No. 5)Library Journal
With the goal of boosting girls' self-esteem and self-image, these two mothers Richardson is an author, journalist, and speaker, while Rehr is a professor of women's psychology have collaborated on this well-meaning collection of child-rearing tips. Their suggestions range in length from one to two pages and cover topics such as nutrition, positive role modeling, fostering emotional well-being, and physical fitness. While the tips themselves are useful, the book's format tends to fragment the authors' message and make them repeat their points. Although the authors' goals are admirable, and information is needed (the Eating Disorders Awareness Prevention web site estimates that on any given day, about 50 percent of American girls are dieting), this work will have limited appeal. It is directed to parents (primarily mothers), but it ranges so broadly from preschool-age to teenage girls that the core audience may be hard to identify. Recommended only for large collections.
