Bullying Made Me Hate My Body. I Won’t Raise My Daughter To Hate Hers.
[[link removed]]
“I was in third grade when I was bullied about my weight
[[link removed]]
for the first time,” opens this thoughtful and honest piece by Katie Garrity.
Unfortunately, it wasn’t an isolated incident, and it shaped the way she thought
about her body for years to come. And she is determined to give her daughter a
better path.
She writes: “ My daughter is now three years old, and the pressure of how to
properly raise her with a healthy body image
[[link removed]]overwhelms
me at times. I know I cannot protect her from the harsh words of kids at school,
but I can guide her on how to handle it. I have vowed to take certain measures
to make sure I am doing everything I can to help my little girl love her body
and be confident in who she is.” Read it, and think about how you could take
similar steps.

You Need To Teach Your Kids About Autism Before The School Year Starts
[[link removed]]
As everybody packs up their school supplies and heads back to the classroom,
here’s an important perspective from Meg Raby: “It’s practically a guarantee
there will be neurodivergent children in your kid’s class, and they are at risk
of being bullied and misunderstood. I’m not trying to be a negative-Nancy here
but more of an honest-Olga: Teaching children about autism before school starts
is a matter not simply of politeness — but their classmates' wellbeing.” She’s
got some guidance for how to have that convo, too.
