Season 2 Episode 6 Let's Talk About Kids and Fat Stigma

Update: 2018-07-10

Description

On this weeks episode we chat with Whitni a kindergarten teacher. How we talk about Fat with kids matters. Weight stigma begins in kids as young as 3. And no, we don’t just start out in the world hating fat people. On this weeks episode we talk about how weight stigma affects kids and some ways you can protect your larger bodied and small bodied kids from it. Becky and Danielle share stories about growing up as a fat child.
