The Mothership Ep. 3 — How to raise kids to love and accept their own bodies

How do we raise our children to love their bodies and have a healthy relationship with food?

Welcome back to The Mothership; Ireland's first parenting panel show. Each week, we bring the issues that matter most to Irish families to the table. Episode 3 is all about raising kids to love their bodies and have a healthy relationship with food. Body positivity, body neutrality, intuitive eating... as parents, we're busying ourselves learning about these things so we don't pass on the toxic messaging fed to us for years by diet culture. But is it time we all just took and deep breath and let go?

Watch the full episode here:

Joining us is body positivity activist Michelle McCormick, dietician Sarah Keogh and Ellen Jennings from BodyWhys: The Eating Disorder Association of Ireland. We'd love to hear your thought in the Facebook and Instagram comments.
