What resources do you have?
BOOKS
Invest in a copy of Body Happy Kids: How to raise children and teens who love the skin they’re in - you can buy a copy direct from us (and get a free Body Happy Kids activity pack) or from any good book shop!
For your school library, check out our Body Happy Bookshop which has lots of books that promote positive body image and acceptance for children of all ages. Each book comes with a downloadable resource you can use with your students.
LESSON PLANS & Teaching resources
Bring the body happy message into your classroom with our peer-reviewed range of body image lesson plans and teaching resources to help children explore big conversations about bodies in an age-appropriate way.
Our body image lessons and learning activities are developed by teachers with specific expertise in nutrition, body image and health-first fitness, before being peer-reviewed by our multi-disciplinary team of experts. Check out the full range here - and remember to sign up to our mailing list to hear when new resources are added.
CPD TRAINING
We also run interactive CPD workshops for teachers (our Body Happy Kids workshop) on this subject and have delivered the sessions to hundreds of professionals all across the UK, the US and in English Language schools in Europe too. Along with teachers, we’ve delivered sessions to social workers, foster carers, women’s refuge workers, sports coaches and dance teachers too. If you work with children then you’ll benefit from our workshops! Find out how we can support you to create body happy environments for the children in your care here.
