Episode #3.13

Summary In our Feature Report, we take a look at body image and its direct link with self-esteem. Almost every parent has had their own issues with body image - A parent's role in shaping their child's body image is pivotal, as families live in a world increasingly obsessed with how things look on the outside. Pediatrician Miriam Kaufman and Ann Kerr examine why healthy body image is so important for kids and how parents can help nurture it. A savvy panel of elementary-school children offer their own opinions on why poor body image is a problem, and what they would like too see done in order to alleviate it. In our Reality Check segment, we delve into obsession. All parents know that when a young child makes their mind up about something it can be difficult, even impossible, to get them to focus on anything else. David Hoffert has discovered that his young son Jorel's interest in trains has turned into an obsession that consumes him day and night, much to his dad's dismay. When a child wets their bed, feelings of shame, guilt and fear can make the problem worse. In our How-to, with the help of her 3-year-old daughter Katie, Angela Reichenbach talks about how she deals with the issue of bed-wetting while child Psychologist Dr. Otto Weininger offers his own tips for parents. In this touching Video Diary, we explore the impact of a parent being away from home for an extended period of time. When that parent is a member of the armed forces, such as in the case of the Hensel family, fear and uncertainty becomes a part of day-to-day life. Teresa Hensel invites us to be a part of her life - and that of her children, Abby and Ayden - to see how she's coping while her husband Horst is posted overseas on active duty.
