Among them, Anna Roy, midwife, but also Marie Perarnau, blogger, author and also mother of four childrenTiméo, 12 years old, Solal, 11 years old, Arwen, 9 years old and Zélie, 7 years old. In La Maison des Maternelles, she wrote a column on the effect that remarks about physical appearance have on children. “You saw something, she's slimmed down, she looks really good: comments about physique, which we all make without thinking badly, can affect the body image that our children have of themselves“, shared the show's Instagram account.
“In fact, we do it but in a completely natural way and it is not necessarily with a desire to be unpleasant or pleasant.shared Marie Perarnau. It's something we do reflexively. We often associate thinness with something positive. But we don't know what's going on behind weight gain or loss..” These sentences said without much thought could therefore have an impact on your child. The columnist of the France 2 show hosted by Agathe Lecaron warns: “So we really need to avoid talking, adding a moral value to weight loss or gain.“
Marie Perarnau (La Maison des Maternelles) warns about comments on the physical appearance of your children
Obviously these remarks do not only concern weight. Any comment on physique should not be taken lightly. “And it also goes with ''You're beautiful, you're beautiful''. You should also not go to the opposite extreme, telling your children…“, begins Marie Perarnau. “I tell my son every day that you are the most beautiful“, remarks a columnist. She replies: “Well in fact the problem is that we again attribute the quality of the person to their appearance. Because it's also the easiest. We arrive in the morning, they are all chic, so cute, 'Oh you're so pretty'. When in fact, there are many other qualities that constitute the human being. The fact that he is kind, that he is empathetic, the fact that he is curious, that he is interested.“So you have a range of qualities to highlight in your child, because even if he is obviously very beautiful, he is certainly not just that.
