EP 60 – “Our Children are Listening” – How Body Talk Affects our Kids with Lisa Dahl

On this episode, we welcome Lisa Dahl who shares how our body talk and the ways we speak about food and bodies around home affects our kids.

Lisa and I discussed:

  • How the early messages we send to our kids about eating (have more, it’s not time to eat, eat this not that) cause children to distrust their own cues and their body
  • How body talk, of any kind, leads kids into comparing their body to the so-called ideal and to begin to believe that their worth is found in their appearance.
  • Tips for body neutral language you can use around your house and how to cultivate an attitude of “all bodies are good bodies” and gratitude for what our body can do rather than focusing on how our body looks
  • How we can teach our kids to honour their own bodies cues in order to build body trust and autonomy.
  • Why we first need to do our own work to heal our own relationship to food, exercise and body image before we can teach our kids to do the same.
