How can we make sure our kids grow up loving their bodies?


For too long, parents' obsession with 'healthy' foods has created anxiety and turned generations of kids against their own bodies. In this practical and essential book, body-confidence parenting coach Emma Wright uses new research to show how to teach your child or teen to nourish their body in a way that's free from expectation and unique to them.

Emma covers everything from understanding why kids eat to navigating mealtimes, why you should ditch rewards, the difference between praise and encouragement, and correcting habits like bingeing or starving. She addresses the fat bias at the root of society's hang-ups over health and explores the key factors that affect kids' self-worth, like social media, sex, sleep and communication.

You'll learn how to:

  • Raise a competent eater without fighting with them
  • Talk about food and weight without damaging body image
  • Protect your child from cultural pressure to be thin
  • Shut down habits that can lead to eating disorders
  • Let go of false and harmful assumptions about weight

With tips to end power struggles and free yourself from fear and guilt as a parent, this book uses groundbreaking new research to make a powerful case for why -- most of the time -- doing less is more.
