Your Child Is Not Their Weight | Joey Skelton (Bonus Episode)

-------------------------------------------

When parents are told their child needs to lose weight, it’s a struggle. They want their kids to feel good about themselves and their bodies, but they may also have legitimate concerns about weight-related bullying, anti-fat bias, and long-term health issues.

While there are no easy answers, my guest today, leading childhood obesity expert Dr. Joey Skelton, is here to offer lessons learned from the latest science about weight and offers a compassionate, family-focused approach to help improve children’s health without dieting - and without compromising their happiness or self-esteem.
