Book Fights Child Body-Image Issues, Promotes Self-Worth
Long before most children create their first social media account, many are already learning one of its harshest lessons — that how they look matters more than who they are. Kids as young as five and six are starting to compare themselves to others, feel "not good enough," and tie their self-worth to how they appear. It is a problem that is growing faster than many parents realize, and one doctor is using the power of storytelling to fight back.Dr. Tiffanie Tate, a retired OB/GYN, author, and radio personality originally from Compton, California, has released a new children's book called *Perfectly Perfect*. Written for kids under 12, the book tackles body image, self-worth, and the emotional pressure that comes from comparison culture — and it does so in a way that children can actually understand and connect with.
