Your kid doesn’t need a diet: approaching conversations about our child's weight and health in a productive way

Diet culture is still prominent in 2022 and I welcome Diana Rice, a registered Dietician and owner of Tiny Seed Family Nutrition to discuss how we should approach conversations about weight and health for our kids.

We discuss:

• Why “eat less and move more” is problematic advice
• Why dieting is never the answer 
• How we can approach conversations about health with a health mindset versus a weight-goal mindset
