You care about your health. You read labels, you track, you lift. So what are your kids learning from watching you?
Parent coach Oona Hanson joins me to talk about the well-meaning things parents say about food that can backfire with kids, and what to say instead.
We cover:
Why "good," "bad," "clean" and "sometimes" food labels can backfire with kids
Pressure, praise and the clean plate club
What a relaxed, healthy family dinner actually looks like
How to answer "Is sugar bad for you?"
Early warning signs of an eating disorder in kids
Talking to your kids about GLP-1 medications
What to say when your teen is worried about their body
About Oona: writer, speaker and parent coach, regular CNN contributor, author of the Parenting Without Diet Culture newsletter, and her first book is coming in 2027 with Cambridge University Press.
