Aric Sigmund

The Family telephone table to 24/7 access

How often do you check your emails

each day, or log onto to Facebook when

you’ve got a quiet minute?

Dr Aric Sigmund theories on the impact

of social media exposure on body image,

mental health and wellbeing.

Increase in ‘friends’

From 150 contact real people to …?

Nearly half of the girls asked aged 3-6 were worried about being fat

Female rise with body dissatisfaction does not decrease with age

1 in 4 adults in the UK are trying to lose weight

10% mortality rate with anorexia

Body image was significantly more

negative after viewing thin media images

ideal that elicits body dissatisfaction

Solutions

Impose a curfew of screen time

Encourage hobbies and other interests

No devices at the dinner table

Praise for what they do rather than how they look ( Deak)

Focusing on things that they do, rather than what they look like is far healthier and will inoculate them against body dissatisfaction and its associated horrors.

Theme 2 Project Reconnect

Growing concern about the amount of

screen time

Impact – neurologically, socially,

emotionally

Be real – how much screen time is too

much?

How do we encourage healthier habits?
