The Body Image Blueprint: Helping Your Child Navigate Body Image Struggles

“I want to support my child,

but I don’t always know what to say.”

Help your child build confidence, self-worth, and a positive relationship with their body.

If your child has ever said, “I don’t like how I look,” or compared themselves to others, you know how hard it can be to find the right words to help. The Body Image Blueprint was created to guide you through those conversations with clarity, compassion, and confidence.

Written by youth coach and educator Melanie Gareau, this 88-page guide offers practical, expert-informed strategies that make it easier to support your child through the challenges of body image and self-esteem.

Inside, you’ll learn how to:

• Understand what kids are up against in today’s appearance-focused world

• Build lasting self-esteem and encourage genuine body appreciation

• Respond to tough moments in ways that heal instead of harm

• Create a home environment rooted in respect, self-acceptance, and well-being

Whether your child is struggling with body confidence, comparing themselves to others, or simply learning to feel comfortable in their own skin, this guide will help you show up with support that truly matters.

The Body Image Blueprint is your step-by-step companion for helping your child grow up feeling confident, capable, and proud of who they are—inside and out.
