Raising Body Confident Kids parent talk

Bradford School is hosting a Raising Body Confident Kids parent talk with Emma Wright for the Dunedin community on April 7. We hope you can attend this important event. 

You may have heard Emma interviewed by Jesse Mulligan on RNZ or seen her in The Herald, talking about her recently published book Body Confident: a Guide to Raising Happy Eaters. She holds a Master's Degree, is a Certified Body Image and Intuitive Eating Coach and has lived experience with disordered eating. 

Given that body image has a huge impact on kids' social and sporting participation, this is a must-see event for parents of younger kids to help make changes that will positively impact them for years to come.  Emma's talk will arm you with practical tools and strategies to help your child build resilience to damaging messages, eat without overthinking and have a healthy relationship with their body.
