How to Talk about Weight and Body Image with your kids?

Talking to your kids and teenagers about weight and body image is challenging for many parents, and for a good reason. There is so much pressure from social stigma and expectations about what healthy looks like, what is beautiful, what is acceptable that children even at a young age are experiencing shaming and harassment for their bodies.

Instead of avoiding these hard conversations, pediatrician Dr. Eileen discusses her top five tips to help parents and caregivers talk to their kids about weight issues and body image struggles. From conversation starters, to negative words to avoid, to setting good roles and action plan for weight loss or gain that involves the whole family. There is a way we can talk about these hard topics with our kids. It is not always easy or comfortable, but by doing so with the right message and language we can instill confidence and love through these hard talks.
