TL;DR
Investigating gender differences in body dissatisfaction in younger children found that girls rated their ideal figure as smaller than the one they considered most attractive to boys, and as substantially smaller than their current figure.
Abstract
The results are consistent with body dissatisfaction being "a normative discontent" for young girls as well as for adult women.
