Diet Culture at the Family Table:
The Impact of Weight Stigma and What Practitioners Can Do To Help

Feeding Expert Virginia Sole-Smith

Because we live in a society that celebrates a thin body ideal and subscribes to complicated notions around what it means to “eat healthy,” kids in all body sizes are exposed early and often to weight bias and diet culture. This can exacerbate a child’s struggles with food. Recognize how diet culture can harm children with feeding differences and challenges, when a parent’s fatphobia and diet culture are an obstacle to responsive feeding, and come away with strategies for reframing this conversation.

Coming In September to On Demand
