Sometimes trying to the right thing turns out to be the wrong thing.
Emma Wright always thought raising children to feel good about their bodies involved teaching healthy eating habits with giving praise for being gorgeous just the way they are. Wrong, she says now.
An eating disorder survivor herself, she shares the research that encourages parents to teach our kids to respect their bodies, eat without overthinking and develop the resilience to stand up to other kids in the face of peer pressure.
Her new book is Body-Confident: A modern and practical guide to raising happy eaters. We speak to Emma.
