A couple months ago, I got contacted by someone who was putting together a panel on body image. They wanted the perspective of a mom with young daughters. I talked with that woman on the phone for about an hour, but realized yesterday that she never followed up, so they probably selected someone else. Looking back, I think I know why I wasn’t picked. She was telling me about how body image issues are presenting themselves younger and younger and asking me about Mazzy. I told her that hasn’t really been my experience at all. I don’t think I’ve heard Mazzy ever say anything negative about her body. Nor have I heard her ever say anything negative about someone else’s body. It’s really just not something that she thinks about. If anything, sometimes she will come down on me for being too concerned about how I look, but that’s usually about putting on make-up. I don’t think Mazzy thinks I think about my body either. I think that’s due to a combination of me making an extra effort to never seem self-conscious about my body around her, and also because I am genuinely so much more comfortable in my own skin at this age than I used to be pre-kids. From what I can see, Mazzy is not unique. It seems like all her friends, who are all shapes and sizes, don’t really think about this stuff either. They seem way less concerned with how they look than me and my friends when we were her age. Sometimes even to a fault because I’ll try to suggest a little grooming like— “let me do something with your hair” or suggest that she wear a better fitted pair of shorts, and she always says, “It doesn’t matter, Mom!” Maybe I’m being totally naive and all the body image issues are right around the corner...or maybe girls are focusing on more important things and that’s the new trend? What has been your experience?
