#91 - Raising HAES Body Kindness for families with Kristy Fassio

Three parents with five kids between them (age ranges 2-12)
gather to discuss what it’s like to parent with body
kindness, endure a child’s body shame at the doctors office,
re-educate your child after the school’s health class taught diet
tricks, what to say when your kid first says “fat” — as early as
age three! And other things you need to know about raising kids
with body kindness.


About Kristy: Kristy Fassio is a former
kindergarten teacher turned fitness professional turned counselor
in training. She believes in joyful movement, the beauty of fat
bodies, tapping into our own inherent wisdom, and Disney magic.
When she isn't studying, she can generally be found driving her
kids to dance lessons or watching crime dramas on TV.
