More Than a
Body Image, Shidduchim, and the Girls Caught in Between
A conversation with Rebecca Klein, MSW for girls in shidduchim, and for the parents who love them.
The Hidden Reality
of adolescent girls report significant body dissatisfaction.
In our community that number meets a second pressure: the shidduch resume, the photo, the phone call that asks what size she wears. The girls hear all of it. So do their mothers. This talk is about what happens in between, and what we can do about it.
What the talk covers
When a healthy body image starts
Where it comes from, why it doesn’t rise and fall with a number on a scale, and what a girl needs to hear before she hears anything else.
The weight on the word
How a comment at the Shabbos table, a friend’s remark, or one question from a shadchan lands on a girl who is already watching herself.
What we can say instead
For parents, teachers, and friends: the words that help, the words that hurt, and how to tell the difference when you’re in the moment.
