About this episode
Kids today face a near-daily onslaught of body shame from their peers, school, diet culture, the media, and even the most well-meaning parents themselves. Virginia Sole-Smith, journalist and author, joins Dr. Becky to discuss why it’s critical that we change the way we talk to kids about fat, weight, health, and self-worth.
