220: Your Child Is Not Their Weight - Parenting in a Size Obsessed World
<p>Do you worry about your child’s weight and wonder if you are doing the right thing in how you encourage them to eat better and exercise more? Turns out sometimes so-called helpful prompts are not helpful. In fact, they could make matters worse. But what is a parent to do? Watch will their kiddo eats a bag of chips while gaming the day away? </p><br><p>I had the privilege of discussing the book, “Your Child Is Not Their Weight: Parenting in a Size-Obsessed World”, with the authors, Dr Joey Skelton and Dara Garner-Edwards. Their research at the Brenner FIT Program, and their approach in the book, recommends that we don’t focus on weight, but rather we need to emphasize a strong family connection, tackling lifestyle choices together as a family, and utilizing planning and structure with involvement from the children. Listen in to learn more! </p><br><p>Check out more resources at Dr Skelton’s website </p><p><a href="https://www.wakehealth.edu/specialty/b/brenner-fit" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.BrennerChildrens.org/BrennerFIT</a> </p><br><p>You can find Dr Skelton on social media here: </p><br><p>X: @DrJoeySkelton </p><p>Bluesky: @drjoeyskelton.bsky.social </p><p>Instagram: @brenner_fit </p><p>Facebook: Brenner FIT</p><br><p>And purchase the book here: </p><p><a href="https://www.amazon.ca/Your-Child-Their-Weight-Size-Obsessed-ebook/dp/B0CXTDDMPC/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2XJ8FHQHJ5D13&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.s_WvgPAU3E59gjKt-Gvj5zMhkIGTQwzEDDBhHKkI-y8.HRGNgkCGVvM4tZdTqRMy5xqB6nIWFEZYU55Eszl9888&dib_tag=se&keywords=parenting+in+a+size+obsessed+world&qid=1776959805&sprefix=parenting+in+a+size+obsessed+world%2Caps%2C129&sr=8-1" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Your Child Is Not Their Weight – Parenting in a Size Obsessed World</a></p><br><p><br></p><p>**********</p><p>Thank you to FeedSpot for selecting “Parenting the Adlerian Way” as the #<a href="https://podcast.feedspot.com/canadian_parenting_podcasts/?feedid=5671477&_src=f2_featured_email" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">1 parenting podcast in Canada</a> two years in a row!</p><br><p>Do you have a parenting question for me?
