have been shown to have serious negative impacts on the mental and physical health of young people. Many studies have found that media literacy education is one of the most successful strategies for countering body image issues and eating disorders in children. The National Eating Disorders Association, in partnership with California State University, Northridge, published a Digital Media Literacy toolkit to help students, including high school students, learn skills to think critically about body images and the online content they see. (10) Education and childhood development experts, as well as academic and medical researchers, have recommended that a key method for preventing and countering the negative impacts described in paragraph (9) is to teach media literacy skills to young people beginning early in their education. (11) A successful and inclusive media literacy program must be directed at students beginning in kindergarten and should continue throughout the completion of postsecondary education. Media literacy education must be inclusive and accessible for all students, including multilingual students, students with limited proficiency in English, and students with disabilities. Learning to critically analyze and create media is a lifelong process that can be developed by integrating media literacy competencies into academic curriculum across content areas and disciplines. 3.
