This one is for the parents and caregivers out there--and before you dive in, please know: you are doing an amazing job, and there is no better parent for your child than you. 

If you’re a parent who grew up worrying about your body size and what you ate, you’re probably aware that you might influence your own child’s body size or eating habits. What you might not know is *how* you’re influencing them, or how to make it more comfortable for your kids to talk to you about body image issues or eating habits. 

I know the negative outcomes of thinking you’re doing the “right thing” by focusing on health and body size--because I did that, and so did so many of my clients. Kids are already growing up in a diet-culture-centric world, so how can we make the home a safe place where they know they’re loved unconditionally, no matter what, and that their worth isn’t attached to their appearance? Tune in to find out.

Tune into episode #128:

In this Intuitive Eating Session, I’ll chat about:

  • The number one food/health approach that can lead to disordered eating for kids

  • How our health-obsessed world is actually harming our kids’ relationships to food

  • What we may be teaching our kids if we’re solely focused on “good” vs. “bad” foods

  • How we can raise confident eaters in a positive or neutral body image environment

  • What to do if you think your child might be developing disordered eating habits 

  • Steps to take for ourselves if we feel caught up in the health-obsessed culture 

  • How inner child healing and working through past experiences can help us be more accepting of our body

  • What we really need to be teaching our kids when it comes to food
