Mind Your Words: Shaping Positive Language for Kids


Listen Later

In this week's episode, Aoife and Jenny explore how young children naturally use descriptive language — and when words like "fat" start to carry negative meanings. They discuss examples from popular books and TV shows, like The Very Hungry Caterpillar and Peppa Pig, and the subtle impact these messages can have on kids' body image and self-esteem. Should we avoid certain words or teach children to use them with kindness and respect?

Tune in for a thoughtful conversation on fostering positive language and self-worth from an early age.
