How can we make sure our kids grow up loving their bodies?


For too long, parents have been given an impossible task: keep your kid from getting too fat, while making sure they love their body. In this practical and essential book, body-con?dence parenting coach Emma Wright uses current research to show how you can teach your child or teen to step away from expectations that leave them anxious about size and food.

Emma addresses the root causes of society's current obsession with healthy food and explores overlooked factors that impact on our kids' self-image, like social media, sex, ?tting in with friends, sleep and communication.

You'll learn how to:

? Raise a competent eater without ?ghting with them

? Talk about food and weight without damaging body image

? Help your child to reject cultural pressure to be thin

? Shut down habits that can lead to eating disorders

? Let go of false and harmful assumptions about weight

With tips to end power struggles and free yourself from fear and guilt as a parent, this book draws on groundbreaking evidence to make a powerful case for why - most of the time - doing less is more.

Emma Wright is a speaker, writer and body-con?dence parenting coach rede?ning the meaning of 'healthy' in a weight-obsessed world. As an eating disorder survivor and a parent, she wanted her kids to relate to their bodies in a way that she didn't. Diving into the research, she discovered the surprising truth about weight and unrestricted diets, and through her speaking events and courses, she has coached hundreds of parents in Aotearoa and around the world to nurture their kids towards healthier relationships with food and their bodies. She offers events and resources under the name Raising Body-Con?dent Kids.
