One of my friends, Dr. Lydnsay Elliott, is a clinical psychologist specializing in eating disorders and body image. When she recently emailed me to ask if I would ever like her to write write something for my blog about how parents can help promote a healthy self-image in their children, I almost screamed through the computer, “YES!!”
