<p>If you have children in your life, whether they’re your own kids or perhaps your siblings/ nieces/ nephews/ students, then hopefully you want to create a body positive environment for them. Zoë Bisbing, MSW, LCSW is here to teach you HOW. </p>
<p>You will learn… </p>
<ul>
<li>what to say if a child asks, “Am I fat?” </li>
<li>how to approach a conversation about “healthy eating” with kids </li>
<li>what if your kid has a real health condition? how should parents approach their child’s food and weight then? </li>
<li>what to say to stop family members from commenting on your child’s weight </li>
</ul>
<p>Remember: building a body positive home starts with your own mindset first. As a parent, it’s important to heal your own beliefs about food, fat, weight, and health. </p>

My favorite certified organic tea with direct-trade ingredients, wrapped in packaging made from plants (not plastics), and produced with the utmost regard for the farmers who grow it. I love Big Heart Tea because their company is female-founded, intentionally-sourced, and mission-driven which you can really taste with every sip. I'm currently drinking their Cup of Love tea and I also love their herbal blends for the afternoons.
