Remember when you were young - how did you think about your body? Did you want to lose weight? Did you try diets as a teenager? And did your mom talk about her own body or looks in negative ways? All of this can really impact growing minds, but now that WE are the parents, we want to raise kids with healthy body images and a great relationship with food. Professor of psychology and author of "The Body Image Book for Girls," Dr. Charlotte Markey, joins us today to talk about just that! You'll learn:* How celebrating kale can backfire* What happens when we try to eat ice cream at 10:30 a.m.* Why repeat exposures to food is important* Why the word "diet" must be banished from our parenting language* How food is a form of self care* And the amazing HOPE about our children's generation that Dr. Markey left us with!You can find more about the book here: www.thebodyimagebookforgirls.com(Quick note: I know many in our audience are conservative, like me, so please know that there's one story of a lesbian in the book and one of a girl who is transgendered. I wouldn't hand this book to my daughter without a conversation about the moral implications of normalizing sinful behaviors. There are lots of really *good* chapters in the book, however, so it's a good resource if you don't have another one to help your girls understand their bodies.)* Find out more about Dr. Markey's book:www.thebodyimagebookforgirls.com* Find Dr. Markey online: www.charlottemarkey.com* Get her book "The Body Image Book for Girls" https://amzn.to/3kXS3cp* Follow Dr. Markey on Social media: https://www.facebook.com/charlotte.markeyhttps://www.instagram.com/char_markey/* Encouraging a healthy relationship with food: https://kidscookrealfood.com/foster-healthy-relationship-with-food/* Building healthy habits around food: https://kidscookrealfood.com/building-kids-eating-habits/* Why we eat fruit for dessert: https://www.kitchenstewardship.com/monday-mission-eat-fruit-for-dessert/* My son's cookbook "Chef Junior": https://amzn.to/3eRYNXzVisit the Kids Cook Real Food eCourse and see how we teach children confidence in the kitchen: https://kidscookrealfood.comFind all the Kids Cook Real Food Healthy Parenting Connector videos at https://youtu.be/GVRq0m-Ehe4As an Amazon affiliate, I earn from qualifying purchases.
