Confident for Life: Kids and Body Image

Documentarian Barbara Kopple ("The Hamptons") offers a short but insightful look at self-esteem issues facing kids and ways they can build confidence.

In one segment, school-age children participate in a New Jersey peer-counseling program, where an aspiring plus-size model talks about the years she has spent learning to love herself. She's joined by a digital retoucher, who opens the young group's eyes to the imperfections that are routinely erased from the beautiful people seen in magazines. Also: at a summer camp for overweight kids, several girls reflect on feeling "fat"; and full-figured supermodel Allegra Doherty is featured in New York during a photo shoot.
