The Amazing Me Program is an evidence-based program designed to help children ages 9 to 11 build self-esteem, body confidence, and eliminate weight-based bullying and teasing. This school-based curriculum satisfies national educational health requirements and provides tools for teachers to implement in 4th and 5th grade classrooms.
The Amazing Me program teaches students to be kind to themselves, their bodies, and others.
CURRENT RESEARCH
Funded by the Dove Self-Esteem Project, we are now partnering with schools across the nation to implement the curriculum in 4th and 5th-grade classrooms. With this study, our goal is to help children build self-esteem and body confidence. We also want to learn more about how the Amazing Me Program works with different educators, students, and classrooms.
