Ep 116 Manchester Attack & Children's Body Image

On Tuesday morning we woke up to the horrifying news of the deaths of more than 20 people in a suicide bomb attack at Ariana Grande's concert at the Manchester Arena. The pop singer had played in Dublin at the weekend and music journalist Jennifer Gannon was there. She wrote a moving piece about the attack and reads it for us in this podcast. Also in this episode, we speak to Fiona Flynn, youth development officer with Bodywhys and psychologist Dr Deirdre Cowman, about how to teach children to be body-positive, how to arm them with the skills needed to get through school, social media and pop-culture, and emerge with their confidence intact.
