How To Address Weight Concerns For Your Child

Parents, you want what’s best for their children. You want them to grow up to be strong, healthy and happy.

But how do you navigate the sensitive topic of body image, weight and healthy habits with your kids, while promoting a healthy relationship with food and their bodies?

In today’s episode, we’re joined by Noha Pollack, MD - a board-certified pediatrician who specializes in helping teens and pre-teeens with body image and weight issues. She also helps professionals and parents who encounter children in this age group to use the right words to communicate positive messages about health instead of focusing on weight. 

In today’s episode, you will learn: 

• Where to start if you feel concern about your child’s weight, eating habits or body image
• Why your language around body, weight & food is so important (and how to use the right words to have productive non-triggering conversations)
• The 3 fundamental pillars of a healthy lifestyle to focus on to help improve your children’s health 
• What nutrition habits to develop for your family to ensure a positive relationship with food 
• How to get your child to move more
• Noha’s opinion on sugar - is it toxic and should we avoid giving it to our children?
