As parents, we’ve worked hard to create a more body-positive and food-neutral environment for our kids. However, during the holidays, we often find ourselves surrounded by family members who may not share the same values or have caused harm in the past. This can leave us feeling protective of our children and wondering how to navigate these complex situations.
In today’s episode, we’ll explore some ways parents can help their children prepare for family gatherings during the holidays, where conversations about food and body image can be tricky to navigate. We’ll discuss the importance of setting boundaries and provide practical advice on maintaining those boundaries, even when faced with family members who may not be respectful of them.
