Do you hesitate teaching your adolescent daughter healthy habits for fear it will hurt her relationship with food and her body? Do you instead say nothing hoping she will figure things out? In this first-of-its-kind book, family nutrition expert Maryann Jacobsen teaches girls healthy habits through the principles of a positive body image.

The book introduces 9 superpowers based on the research of puberty, nutritional needs, emotional health, sleep, physical activity, intuitive/mindful eating, motivation, media literacy, and body image.The book teaches girls to:Understand physical changes during puberty and give the body what it needs -- food, sleep, and activity -- to thrive. Decode the inner world of feelings, choose the best super friends, and take time to discover more about yourself and what excites you.Critically think about media messages and reduce pressure in both the "virtual" and "real" worlds.My Body's Superpower helps build a foundation for lifelong health during a critical time of development.
