Food. At its most basic, we need it to live. But it can also be a source of pleasure and community. Unfortunately, our society benefits from propagating shame around food, eating and weight and this can result in parents passing on and projecting their own issues around food to their children.
In this episode, we speak with Amy Bernstein (www.ABodyOfBeing.com), a clinical social worker and therapist who is an expert on children and body image issues. We’ll talk about countering the Instagram culture’s obsession with idealized and unrealistic body images and offer practical advice on how (or whether) to talk to your child about their weight and how they eat.
