Aspenwood PAC is pleased to invite parents and guardians of students in Grades 3-5 to a free educational evening called Beyond Body Talk, presented in partnership with Reframe Voices Society.
What is Beyond Body Talk?
Children are exposed to appearance-focused messages and body-related pressures at increasingly younger ages. This engaging 60-minute presentation will help parents understand how these influences can affect children's wellbeing and provide practical strategies for supporting healthy conversations about food, feelings, and body image.
What You'll Learn
How to foster open, judgment-free conversations with your child
Early signs of disordered eating and body image concerns
Ways to respond to difficult questions and conversations
Practical strategies to help build resilience and positive self-esteem
Why Attend?
Research shows that concerns related to body image and eating habits often begin developing before adolescence. Early awareness and supportive conversations can play an important role in helping children develop healthy relationships with food, their bodies, and themselves.
About the Speaker
The session will be led by Penny Greening, founder of Reframe Voices Society, a non-profit organization dedicated to eating disorder awareness, prevention, and education. Reframe Voices is supported by professionals with expertise in child psychology, education, health and wellness, communications, and lived experience.
