The parent pack follows a similar guide for
primary school teachers, also produced by Media Smart, which has been
downloaded 1,500 times since its launch last year.
Media Smart chairman Paul Jackson said:
"We have been overwhelmed by the response we have had to the body image
teacher pack, both in terms of the volume of responses and the enthusiasm with
which it has been received.

智能媒體董事長保羅·傑克遜說：“我們藉由身體形象教師封包手冊的響應和熱情回應我們在這方面的成果。
"We have found that children respond
really well when they realise that most of the images they see have been
altered in some way and are aspirational but not realistic."
“我們已經發現，當孩子意識到，他們所看到的圖像中的大部分的影像已經以某種方式改變，並不實際時感覺真的很好。”
