How to Talk to Family and Friends Who Parent Differently with Oona Hanson Jul 26, 2021

Show notes

We’re back for part two on Ditching Diet Culture! We all want to be more conscious about how we talk about food and our bodies in front of our kids, but what do you do when someone in your kid’s life– a caregiver, family member, or friend– says or does something in front of your kid that is the opposite of how you want to parent? Today, we’re talking to Oona Hanson– a parent coach with 20 years of experience helping parents and caregivers raise kids who have a healthy relationship with food and their body. Oona shares her practical strategies for how and when to navigate these sensitive conversations, what to say when someone thinks your child needs to finish their plate before dessert, and what to do when someone’s commenting about their body in front of your kids.

Ditching Diet Culture: How We Can Do Better For Our Kids Jul 05, 2021

Show notes

From pressure to "bounce back" after baby to not getting into photos because we're feeling self-conscious, diet culture is so embedded and normalized in our everyday thoughts and words that it can be hard to even notice when we’re doing it. For a lot of us, it isn’t until we have kids that we realize how even the smallest, most harmless-seeming comments can make kids self-conscious and complicate how they think about food, nutrition, and body image. In this episode, Hayley opens up about her own personal struggle with an eating disorder as a teen and how she is working to break the cycle within her own family. Jess and Hayley break down what diet culture is, how it impacts our kids, and what we can all do to raise non-picky eaters who have a healthy relationship with food and with their own body.
