As a mom, it can be difficult to ensure that your daughter grows up with a good body image, especially when the media, her friends, and everyone else is telling her how she should look. And in today's world, this problem has become more than a trend - it's an epidemic. Luckily, Jill S. Zimmerman Rutledge’s honest and understanding book for pre-teen and teenage girls deals with this very issue.
Picture Perfect is  every girl's solution to dealing with body image issues and learning to love themselves for who they are. In each of her easy to read chapters, which include supportive sections on teasing, low self-esteem, and perfectionism, the author provides “Special Statements,” where girls tell stories about their difficulties and how they overcame them. She then writes an “Action Plan” that instructs girls how they too can deal with these problems. Girls can use these action plans to improve their self-image, and you can use it to jump-start important mother-daughter conversations. After all, teaching our children to value themselves is one of a mom's most important jobs. This book is a great way to help girls learn to feel good about themselves, which is one lesson that’s just too important to overlook. To learn more, visit the author's website here.
