Toddlers Made Easy with Dr Cathryn

When Toddlers Ask, "Mommy, Am I Fat?"


Listen Later

Body image doesn’t start in the teen years—it starts in the toddler years. And the words we use today become the beliefs our kids carry tomorrow.


In this week’s episode, I’m sharing how our language, reactions, and even the way we talk about our own bodies shape how little kids see themselves.


You’ll learn:

• Why kids as young as 3–6 already notice and compare bodies
• How to respond when your child asks, “Am I fat?”
• Simple phrases that build healthy body image (and what to avoid)


These strategies will help you raise a child who feels confident and comfortable in their body.
