Raising Body-Confident Eaters, and Breaking the Cycle of Fat Talk around Kids

Kids are always listening — especially when it comes to how we talk about food and our bodies.From casual “I feel so fat” comments to labeling foods as “good” or “bad,” the messages children absorb early can shape their relationship with eating and self-worth for years to come.Join us on Auggie for a thoughtful and practical conversation with Shira Sussi, registered dietitian and founder of Shira Sussi Nutrition, and Dr. Whitney Casares, MD, pediatrician, author, founder of Modern Mommy Doc, spokesperson for the Baby Wellness Foundation in the US, and contributor to BabyCenter.Together, we’ll explore how to raise body-confident eaters and break generational patterns around food, weight, and body image.We’ll cover:

  • How kids internalize messaging around food and body image

  • The impact of “fat talk” and diet culture at home

  • What to say (and not say) around kids

  • How to support intuitive, confident eating habits

  • Practical ways to shift the conversation in everyday lifeThis conversation is for any parent who wants to raise kids with a healthier, more positive relationship with food and their bodies — and is ready to rethink the messaging they grew up with.
