When we tell a child "you're chubby" or "you need to cut down on sweets," they hear something very different than we intend.
Young kids don't separate who they are from the body they live in -- it's all one and the same. So when we comment on their body or eating habits, they don't hear it as helpful health advice. They hear "something is wrong with ME."
This is why seemingly innocent comments can have such profound effects on children's mental health, self-worth, and relationship with food. A child doesn't think "my body needs changing" -- they think "I need changing."
The good news? Small shifts in how we talk to kids about food and bodies can make a huge difference.
Watch our new video "Beyond Body Talk" to learn three simple ways to help kids truly thrive.

We’re all familiar with the typical New Year’s resolutions—lose weight, or exercise more and eat better [so we can lose weight]…and we know how it ends. What if this New Year’s our resolution was to feel at peace, or even good, in our body and with food? What if our resolution was to drop the weight of all the “shoulds” we carry about our body’s appearance and food? Imagine the how freeing that would be—for us and for our children.
If this sounds appealing, What to Say for Me might be, well, for YOU.
The online course starts January 8th, and it’s designed for parents like you who are ready to make real, lasting change. No more endless dieting or negative body talk. It’s time to feel good in your body and show your kids how to do the same.
✨ What to Expect:
• Short, 20-minute live sessions each week (we know life is busy!)
• Practical tools to reshape your relationship with food and your body
• Easy-to-follow follow-up resources to help you stay on track (and recordings if you miss a session)
You deserve to live in a body that feels at peace, and your kids deserve to see that, too.
Don’t wait – registration closes Tuesday, January 7. https://ow.ly/9qwZ50Uyr8l
