The selfie culture is damaging our kids’ self-esteem – thanks to celebrities and influencers posting pictures of “perfect” bodies they will never be able to attain.
Child psychologist Dr Linda Papadopoulos today urges parents to be aware of the pressure on kids and to “focus on what is on the inside”.
The TV doctor says social media stars, often with millions of followers, can make teenagers feel worse about their bodies by posting heavily photoshopped snaps, or by flaunting the results of extreme workouts or cosmestic surgery.
