The DSM states that the onset of Body Dysmorphia Disorder starts around ages 12 and 13—middle school. We live in an age where image is everything, and how we think or feel about what our body looks like isn't necessarily reality. So how can we as parents have conversations with our kids about body image?

On this episode of Coming & Going, Joe talks to Leah Ethier, a licensed mental health professional, and Shanna Craig, Troy Student Director, to learn more about body image, body dysmorphia, and eating disorders and how parents can model healthy habits and truths to their kids.

Coming and Going is a podcast designed to help parents live out and impress upon their children biblical truths as they come and go.  

Deuteronomy 6 calls us to love God with all our hearts and to teach this command to our children. This means we, as parents, are called to find ways to share and show the truths of His word to our kids. This means we find both organized ways, such as family Bible study and times of prayer together and getting them plugged into Christ-centered community, and organic ways, as life circumstances occur to remind them of the truth of who God is.  

Whether walking around the grocery store, avoiding the death trap that is known as the “pick up circle” at school, sitting around the table, or wherever you are coming and going from, there are opportunities for parents to reflect the truth of God’s Word and the humble love of Jesus to their kids.
