So I think what we're really seeing in parenting today is that a lot of us are very aware. We want to do things differently than how we grew up. You know, if you were a kid in the 80s or 90s, you were inducted into Diet Culture at quite a young age. You were given a lot of really strict messages around food in your body and I think there's been a real reckoning where we're recognizing the harm that caused.
I'm doing with this book is helping parents really understand where that bias comes from, how they can start to unlearn it and then really look at how it shows up in all of these arenas of family life where it just has no business.
