I have acne, 18 00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:10,959 Speaker 1: which is kind of sad Ian color. It was a 19 00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:14,480 Speaker 1: really interesting discussion yesterday. I think we covered some great stuff. Kylie. 20 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:20,280 Speaker 1: We were introduced to four new focus families, Elv and Sean. 21 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:22,319 Speaker 3: We are authoritative parents. 22 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 4: We have high expectations on our children. In the meantime, 23 00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:27,839 Speaker 4: we set strict rules and boundaries. 24 00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:32,280 Speaker 3: Nick and Sophia we're the positivity parents where confidence is key. 25 00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:35,560 Speaker 3: Josh and Cassie we are the life school parents, and 26 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,399 Speaker 3: we use real life experiences to educate our kids. 27 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 5: And Amandarin has Son. 28 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,919 Speaker 1: We choose to parent the hard way. We don't take shortcuts. 29 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:43,760 Speaker 1: It's hard on us. 30 00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:45,120 Speaker 4: We're easing the fund for the kids. 31 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:46,160 Speaker 5: Today. 32 00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 1: I want to reflect on something that came up, some 33 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 1: really painful memories for some of our parents, particularly Sophia, 34 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:54,640 Speaker 1: our positivity. 35 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:59,400 Speaker 2: Momth When I was younger, I didn't like my legs. 36 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:04,840 Speaker 2: I used to get teased at school and they used 37 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:08,760 Speaker 2: to be actually riding on the walls about Mummy's legs. 38 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:10,960 Speaker 5: I didn't like. 39 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:20,520 Speaker 3: My body at all. It's very important, especially being a girl, Okay, 40 00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:24,799 Speaker 3: that you don't let other people tell you what beautiful is. 41 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 3: You know how mummy always says that to you. Okay, 42 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:33,240 Speaker 3: because we're all different, Okay, I love you. I would 43 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 3: binge and then I'd be like, oh no, no, no, 44 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:38,120 Speaker 3: I'm getting too big. Now, let's scale that back to 45 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 3: like not eating, like that's just not healthy, you know. 46 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:43,920 Speaker 3: And then all my friends were doing it. And I 47 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker 3: think when you're young, you're very impressionable, okay, and if 48 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,359 Speaker 3: you don't have a lot of support around you don't 49 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,720 Speaker 3: have you know, parents that are guiding you, you know, 50 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 3: through that. 51 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 4: Type of stuff. I can definitely relate with that. I 52 00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 4: was one of four girls. Two of my old sisters 53 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:04,119 Speaker 4: suffered quite bad eating disorders growing up, and it did 54 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:08,400 Speaker 4: stem from my dad was obsessed with the way he looked. 55 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 4: I remember I lost a lot of weight once when 56 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 4: I was younger. I was severely underweight and someone said, 57 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 4: I'm really worried about you. And I went to my 58 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:21,720 Speaker 4: dad and he said, I don't know what they're talking about. 59 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 4: You look fabulous. And so it does come from the parents. 60 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:28,839 Speaker 4: And you know, you're lucky if you can get out 61 00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 4: of that without any repercussions. 62 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:33,920 Speaker 1: Kylie, so many things that come out of that audio. 63 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 1: What are your reactions? 64 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:37,600 Speaker 5: It didn't surprise me at all. But every woman in 65 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 5: that room had a story. 66 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:43,480 Speaker 1: Yes, and there were serious, heavy stories. It was it 67 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 1: wasn't like, oh you when I was young, I didn't 68 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 1: like how I looked either. These were heavy eating disorder 69 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 1: challenging mental health kind of stories. Yeah, why did it 70 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 1: not surprise you? 71 00:03:54,800 --> 00:04:00,160 Speaker 5: Because as women, there has just always been so much 72 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 5: emphasis on the way we look and very little emphasis 73 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,840 Speaker 5: on what we can do. And you think about that 74 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 5: from a generational kind of thing, girls weren't even encouraged 75 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:18,360 Speaker 5: to be educated because it was actually just all about 76 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,599 Speaker 5: how we looked and what we could do in the home, 77 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:26,360 Speaker 5: without ever acknowledging what we were actually capable of doing 78 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 5: in any sphere. 79 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 1: You know what line really stood out to. 80 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:34,480 Speaker 3: Me, You don't let other people tell you what beautiful is. 81 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,760 Speaker 1: I just love that. For whatever reason, it resonated and 82 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:42,080 Speaker 1: I thought, yeah, absolutely, Like society gives such a narrow 83 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:47,120 Speaker 1: and unhealthy vision of what beautiful is. It focuses only 84 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 1: in one dimension, and I think that it causes so 85 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,240 Speaker 1: much harm to so many young people. There was one 86 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:56,040 Speaker 1: other standout point that came from the episode, and that 87 00:04:56,200 --> 00:05:01,159 Speaker 1: was when Courtney, the pro tech parent said, my dad 88 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:05,000 Speaker 1: was obsessed by the way he looked. And I just 89 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 1: wanted to emphasize how much of the body image stuff 90 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:14,160 Speaker 1: we carry comes from what our parents are saying about bodies. Kylie, 91 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:15,919 Speaker 1: do you have any memories of being a teenager and 92 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:19,000 Speaker 1: feeling awkward about your appearance or things that your parents said. 93 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 5: Typical teenager loved my sugar, really enjoyed you know, junk 94 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 5: food in general, and often I would find myself, you know, 95 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:33,360 Speaker 5: eating I don't know, a donut or whatever else, and 96 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 5: my mum would watch me enjoy it and acknowledged that 97 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 5: I would regret that in the years to come because 98 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 5: I was going to end up with a bum like curz. 99 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:46,479 Speaker 1: What sort of an impact does hearing that have on you? 100 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 5: So I was five foot ten and fifty four kilos. 101 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 5: To put that into context, I had a doctor recently 102 00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 5: tell me that the easiest way to work out is 103 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:02,840 Speaker 5: a healthy weight range for yourself is to take the 104 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:03,839 Speaker 5: one off your height. 105 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,720 Speaker 1: So five foot ten in meters is. 106 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 5: One hundred and seventy eight centimeters. 107 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,279 Speaker 1: Okay, So taking the one meter off means that somewhere 108 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:14,039 Speaker 1: around that seventy five to eighty kilo range would be 109 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 1: about right. Yeah, Yeah, And you were fifty four kilos. 110 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,160 Speaker 5: I was fifty four kilos and it wasn't until I. 111 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 1: Was so you MU should have been saying, eat more donuts? 112 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:23,200 Speaker 1: Is how are you getting at? 113 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 5: I was in a relationship and my boyfriend had taken 114 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:31,560 Speaker 5: a handful of photos of me, and he shared some 115 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:35,960 Speaker 5: of them with me, And in that moment, it was 116 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:40,719 Speaker 5: like I was looking at somebody else. And what blows 117 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:45,839 Speaker 5: my mind is how distorted our vision is. Yes, so distorted. 118 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,280 Speaker 5: I would look in the mirror and I would see 119 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 5: someone who needed to lose weight, and I would pull 120 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 5: my body to pieces. And yet when I saw this photo, 121 00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 5: all I could see was my clabacles just like popping out, 122 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:05,159 Speaker 5: like I was skin and a bone, right. And I 123 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,240 Speaker 5: remember at that period of time, my mum actually used 124 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 5: to follow me to the bathroom because she thought that 125 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 5: I must be vomiting. 126 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:12,560 Speaker 1: And yet she's still giving you this message that donat 127 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:12,960 Speaker 1: the doughnut. 128 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 5: Yeah, and I wasn't. I wasn't, but I wasn't eating. 129 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 5: So yeah, it took that photo to actually kind of 130 00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 5: shake me up and make me realize that what I 131 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,640 Speaker 5: was seeing in the mirror was a distortion of reality. 132 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:27,680 Speaker 1: One of my favorite stories as well is when we 133 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 1: went on our first date, so you would have been 134 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 1: eighteen when we started dating. Yeah, and we went on 135 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 1: our first date and walked into the chuck Oal Chicken 136 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,559 Speaker 1: shop down at Terego Beach, where I ordered a chicken 137 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:39,080 Speaker 1: and some chips and then looked at you and said, 138 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 1: what would you like to eat? And you said, well, 139 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,560 Speaker 1: I'll just have some of what you've ordered, and I said, no, 140 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:48,080 Speaker 1: that's actually mine. What would you like to eat? And 141 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,800 Speaker 1: I remember you saying to me a short while after 142 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 1: that that that was the day that you knew that 143 00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:55,720 Speaker 1: you could eat whatever you wanted around me and there'd 144 00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 1: be no judgment. You were safe. That's obviously a bit 145 00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:01,520 Speaker 1: of levity in what's an otherwise really important, really hard conversation. 146 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 1: The impact of the words that we say are great. 147 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:10,280 Speaker 1: I quote in Misconnection, my book about raising teenage girls, 148 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:16,040 Speaker 1: research that shows that when parents, particularly fathers, say things 149 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:19,320 Speaker 1: about their daughter's weight, if those children are under about 150 00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:21,120 Speaker 1: the age of I think it was eleven, twelve, thirteen, 151 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,080 Speaker 1: something like that, by the time they're in their mid 152 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:26,200 Speaker 1: to late teens, the likelihood of them having some eating 153 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 1: challenges goes up just so much. Again, I can't remember 154 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:33,760 Speaker 1: the exact percentages now, but goes up enormously. The conversations 155 00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:37,240 Speaker 1: that we have really really carry weight. If you'll pardon 156 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:41,880 Speaker 1: the quite unfortunate pun or turn of phrase, there up next, 157 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,520 Speaker 1: we need to talk about how we can move into 158 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:48,880 Speaker 1: healthier conversations around beauty and what is beautiful. That's in 159 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:57,160 Speaker 1: just a sec on the Happy Families podcasts. 160 00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:03,600 Speaker 5: I want to play some audio of you saying something 161 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:04,240 Speaker 5: pretty awesome. 162 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,080 Speaker 1: When discussing body image, we need to move away from 163 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:13,080 Speaker 1: beauty instead, emphasize functionality, emphasize fighting joy, focus on what 164 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:16,679 Speaker 1: you can do, not what you look like. More than anything, 165 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:21,120 Speaker 1: remember that beauty is best defined by who you are 166 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:23,680 Speaker 1: and not how you look. Okay, so what do you 167 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:24,240 Speaker 1: like about that? 168 00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,920 Speaker 5: For centuries we're focused on girl's looks. I said that 169 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 5: earlier in our discussion, and one of the things that 170 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:37,160 Speaker 5: we have been really intentional with our girls is acknowledging 171 00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 5: what their bodies allow them to do. But not only that. 172 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:46,000 Speaker 5: When we focus on beauty, we talk about the qualities, 173 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,840 Speaker 5: the attributes that make them a beautiful person. 174 00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:51,559 Speaker 1: You know, though it's not a physical appearance thing, it's 175 00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 1: these are the attributes, the beautiful attributes of character that 176 00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 1: make you. 177 00:09:54,960 --> 00:10:01,800 Speaker 5: You because those characteristics of good ness shine forth and 178 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:06,320 Speaker 5: they actually make you a more beautiful person, like in general. 179 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:09,600 Speaker 1: So can I jump in and read something from misconnection 180 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:14,199 Speaker 1: because Misconnection is the book about raising teenage girls, and 181 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 1: it's probably the book that I'm most proud of. I've 182 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:17,840 Speaker 1: written a few books that I really really like, but 183 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,600 Speaker 1: this one, I just it's made such a difference to 184 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,080 Speaker 1: so many families. I actually wrote this in chapter four, 185 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:26,480 Speaker 1: pixel Perfect. I wrote the subheading is tell your daughter 186 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,800 Speaker 1: she's beautiful. So a lot of people really don't like this. 187 00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,079 Speaker 1: They think that we should move away from telling kids 188 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,040 Speaker 1: that they're beautiful because it's going to create some sort 189 00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:36,400 Speaker 1: of a complex in them. But this is what I 190 00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:37,920 Speaker 1: want to read to you, I said, I recognize that 191 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,439 Speaker 1: this is a controversial thing to say, particularly because I've 192 00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:43,880 Speaker 1: been arguing in this chapter that identity is negatively impacted 193 00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:47,199 Speaker 1: by peers or parents' emphasizing appearance. But hear me out 194 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,000 Speaker 1: on this. At a conference a number of years ago, 195 00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:51,400 Speaker 1: a man spoke to me after my presentation. I've been 196 00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:54,160 Speaker 1: discussing how our girls need to know we're proud of them. 197 00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:57,480 Speaker 1: He shared with me that he would see his little 198 00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:59,760 Speaker 1: girl all dressed up in her Sunday best before church 199 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,840 Speaker 1: each week and tell her joyously how beautiful she was. 200 00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:05,079 Speaker 1: When she was about nine or ten. She said, Dad, Am, 201 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:08,840 Speaker 1: I only beautiful when I wear a dress. It occurred 202 00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 1: to him that he only ever complimented her appearance on 203 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,959 Speaker 1: those Sunday mornings when she donned her dress. She thought 204 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:18,960 Speaker 1: she wasn't beautiful at any other time. Karen Young, the 205 00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:23,360 Speaker 1: mastermind behind Hey Sigmund, says that girls should know their 206 00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:27,680 Speaker 1: beautiful regardless of their appearance. Beauty is defined by who 207 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:31,640 Speaker 1: you are, not how you look. Her message study hard, 208 00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,240 Speaker 1: play hard, achieve failed, commit to excellence. We want our 209 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:37,960 Speaker 1: girls to feel competent and capable and to know that 210 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:41,360 Speaker 1: we believe in their beauty. My advice. Most girls want 211 00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:44,600 Speaker 1: to feel beautiful, let them know that they are always 212 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:46,440 Speaker 1: your reactions. 213 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:53,000 Speaker 5: I'm crying. Every girl wants to feel beautiful. But I 214 00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:58,600 Speaker 5: love that dad's recognition after his daughter asked him the question, 215 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:02,360 Speaker 5: Am I only beautiful on Sundays because of what I'm wearing? 216 00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,720 Speaker 5: And I think it's just a really beautiful reminder to 217 00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:11,200 Speaker 5: us that we have such an important role to play 218 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:18,080 Speaker 5: in helping our girls specifically recognize their beauty. And it's 219 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:20,800 Speaker 5: not about what they put on. It's not about the makeup, 220 00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 5: it's not about the dress. It's actually about who they are. 221 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:26,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, it's not the dress. It's the girl in 222 00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:30,040 Speaker 1: the dress. Yeah. Yeah, I don't want to sound cheesy, 223 00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:34,960 Speaker 1: but you're beautiful when you get weepy, stop it, all right, 224 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,480 Speaker 1: very serious conversation. Tomorrow's episode, we're going to be talking 225 00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:40,600 Speaker 1: about what can happen when negative body image thoughts can 226 00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,360 Speaker 1: develop into serious, life threatening health issues. One of the 227 00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:46,360 Speaker 1: toughest conversations that we'll ever have on this podcast on 228 00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:52,160 Speaker 1: the disease that is anorexia. 229 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,440 Speaker 4: Force yourself to eat it, Ashley, Yes, you can. 230 00:12:58,120 --> 00:12:58,560 Speaker 1: You can. 231 00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:01,800 Speaker 5: What is your voice saying right now? 232 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:05,640 Speaker 4: Okay, so you need to do the opposite. 233 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:06,760 Speaker 5: Look. 234 00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:12,800 Speaker 1: That's tomorrow on the Happy Families podcast, which is produced 235 00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:15,280 Speaker 1: by Justin Roland from Bridge Media.
