Dr. Charlotte Markey emphasizes that self-scrutiny regarding appearance can start at a remarkably young age—sometimes as early as three or four years, which is alarming. She points out that influences from parents and the environment play a critical role in shaping how children perceive their bodies. This early onset of comparison can lead to lifelong struggles with body image if not addressed early on.
In her new book Adultish, Dr. Charlotte Markey reflects on the limited understanding she had during her teenage years. She states, "All of our worlds are so small in ways growing up because we didn't know any better." This acknowledgment underscores the necessity for better education and awareness regarding body image and self-perception among adolescents.
