WHAT IS CONFIDENT BODY, CONFIDENT CHILD?

Confident Body, Confident Child (CBCC) is an evidence-based resource providing parenting strategies to promote positive body image, healthy eating and physical activity in children aged 2 to 6 years. The resource aims to support and guide parents or guardians, to create an environment in which their children can develop body satisfaction and healthy eating patterns. Although developed for use in early childhood, the ideas in the resource will also be valuable for older children.

CBCC was developed by a team of researchers from the School of Psychology and Public Health at La Trobe University, Australia. The resource was developed from the best available research evidence arising from an extensive review of published research studies, public websites, and existing parent resources (Hart et al, 2018).

CBCC WORKSHOPS

NEDA is excited to offer CBCC workshops designed to help you develop positive body image and healthy eating patterns in your child. You will walk away with practical strategies for the whole family to try and some fun activities to do with your child. We will cover a range of important topics, including:

• What is body image and why is it important? 

• Promoting self-esteem 

• Dealing with social influences and teasing 

• Promoting healthy eating
