Are you looking for some practical advice on how to support your child’s body confidence?

It can be hard to know how to respond when a child talks negatively about themselves particularly when so many adults struggle with their own body image.

Join the experts from the Butterfly Foundation for a free, relaxed and informative 1.5hr seminar for parents/carers on practical strategies for supporting positive body image in children and teens. Topics include: the power of positive role modelling; reducing appearance talk, healthy behaviours in relation to eating and exercise, early intervention and referral advice.

By way of a reminder this session is designed for an adult audience and we kindly ask that children do not attend.

Many thanks to the Rotary Club of Paterson and Kings nd Queens Paterson Lodge for their generous support for this event. Also, thanks to Vacy Public School for becoming a Body Bright School and helping the students to be Body Kind children.
