This short animated video addresses the delicate but important question of body image and the factors that influence it—an excellent way to introduce thoughtful reflection and discussions with students! (French only)
For the time being, this video is only available in French.
Why talk about body image?
Children are often concerned about their appearance very early on, and the end of elementary school is a critical time in the development of a positive body image. The Sexuality Education program also covers this potentially delicate yet extremely important subject. Fifth and sixth graders are required to learn about the importance of adopting a positive attitude about their body and the diversity of body types. This video sets the stage for learning about the subject in a fun and educational way.
