When Kids Worry About Their Bodies: What Parents Can Do

It starts subtly.

Maybe your child starts asking if a food will “make them fat.”
Maybe they avoid wearing certain clothes.
Maybe they say something like, “I don’t like my stomach,” or start comparing their body to others.

It’s natural to feel unsure in these moments. You want to say the right thing. You want to protect them. But no one gave you a script for this.

As a parent coach focused on body image and eating disorder prevention, I see this often—and I want you to know two things:

👉 You’re not alone.
👉 You can make a difference.

In fact, parents are one of the biggest protective factors when it comes to body image and disordered eating.

That’s why I created a free webinar:

Body Talk: Raising Body-Confident Kids & Teens

In this live session, I’ll guide you through:

  • How to respond when your child expresses discomfort with their body
  • What to do when a doctor brings up weight
  • How to talk about food in ways that protect mental health
  • Simple but powerful shifts that foster trust, safety, and self-confidence

This webinar is for any parent, caregiver, or educator who wants to support a child or teen in developing a respectful, positive relationship with their body—without shame, fear, or food battles.

📅 Date: Tuesday, May 27
Time: 8:00 pm EST

Let’s change the way we talk about bodies—our kids are listening.

And they’re looking to you.
