"Speak to your body in a loving way. It is the only one you have got, It’s your home and deserves your respect."

A very effective workshop on 'Body image' was conducted in the school premises for classes S1-S3 and S4- S7 on December 6 and 9,2022 respectively.

The objective of the workshop was to make every child feel comfortable about their body and know it's two important aspects -Negative Body Image and Positive Body Image. Nowadays,  children are too sensitive about their body image because of what they are watching around.

They compare unintentionally and make imaginary parameters to assess their body which impact their mental health negatively.  
The fact that their own negative self talk can be harming  their self image was explained and highlighted during the workshop by the School counsellor and peer mentors.Students were explained that their body image is the combination of their thoughts, perception, feelings and their experiences.
They were interactive and asked  many questions which showed that they too feel the need to rectify their body image, feel comfortable in their skin and feel good about how they look.  All the participants showed their interest in the discussion and shared their views enthusiastically about the awareness of the role body image plays in impacting self-esteem and overall mental health and physical health. The sessions also fine cussed on understanding of internal and external influences that help shape one’s body image (family, friends/peers, toys, media, etc.

Students were guided to have the ability to positively assess their own bodies.
