Tackling School Weight Anxiety With Our My Weight My Business School Card

Children face pressure at school from all directions. Body image and weight are some of the hardest things to deal with. It’s not just physical—it affects how a child feels, thinks, and copes day to day. Our My Weight My Business School Card gives families a way to protect children from added stress linked to school weigh-ins.

School Weigh-Ins and Body Image: What Every Parent Should Know

Weight and body image are common sources of anxiety for school-age children. The pressure to fit in with unrealistic standards starts early and hits hard. When schools carry out public weigh-ins, it can make those feelings worse. Children may start to feel ashamed, anxious, or singled out.

Research backs this up. More than 40 percent of children who are aware of their weight say they’ve been teased or bullied. Around 30 percent of girls and 25 percent of boys say they’re unhappy with how they look. These are not small numbers—they show how widespread the issue is.

The Hidden Impact of Weigh-Ins on Children at School

Weigh-ins are often seen as a health check, but many schools forget what it feels like to be that child. Being told your weight in front of others can cause shame, embarrassment, and stress. It can affect confidence. It can lead to problems with learning, concentration, and attendance.

Some children will try to avoid school on weigh-in days. They worry about what will be said, how others will react, or whether they’ll be treated differently. Public weigh-ins do not allow for differences in age, background, or body type—and they rarely help with health in any meaningful way.

What the Numbers Tell Us About Weight Worries at School

Children who are worried about their weight are more likely to face mental health problems. That includes anxiety, low mood, and in some cases, eating disorders. A study from the Mental Health Foundation found that one in ten young people often feel ashamed of their body image. That’s a serious issue.

School should be a place where children feel safe, not somewhere that adds pressure. Schools that focus on kindness, privacy, and understanding see better outcomes in both wellbeing and academic progress. It’s not about hiding health—it’s about doing better.

Our My Weight My Business School Card Helps Parents Set Boundaries

We created our card so parents could say no to school weigh-ins without a big argument. It’s small, clear, and easy to use. A child can hand it to the right person and carry on with their day. No drama, no attention, no awkwardness.

The message is simple: the child is not to be weighed at school. It shows that a parent has made this decision. That’s all a school should need.

Why Our Card Makes a Real Difference for Children

Using our card helps children feel more comfortable at school. It reduces anxiety, stops public embarrassment, and protects their privacy. It can also help parents avoid long discussions by putting the message into school staff hands straight away.

It supports:

  • Better mental health

  • Clear communication

  • Stronger privacy

  • A focus on learning, not weight
