Anna Lutz and Elizabeth Davenport have a conversation with Ginny Jones, the founder of More-Love.org, and a parent coach who helps parents of kids with body image issues, eating issues, and eating disorders.

They discuss:

  • How parents can support children in larger bodies. 
  • The impact on children of public health programs and initiatives such as school nutrition curriculum, posters, media focusing on weight, and messaging in doctor’s offices, that are inherently weight-biased.
  • Advice for parents of larger bodied children who might be concerned about their child’s weight and eating.
  • Ways to navigate comments from other parents, family members, or healthcare professionals who judge parenting through a weight-biased lens. 
  • Things a parent can do or say if their child expresses concern about their body, or asks if they’re fat.
  • How parents and caregivers can promote weight inclusivity and body positivity in their homes.
