Your Kid’s Body Confidence Starts with You


Listen Later

In this special solo episode, Dr. Whitney gives a heartfelt preview of her upcoming children’s book, My One-of-a-Kind Body: The Ultimate Guide to Caring for Me (out October 20). Designed for kids ages 7–12, the book helps children build body confidence, body literacy, and lifelong wellness habits—without shame.

But this episode isn’t just for kids. Whitney reads the powerful letter to parents from the beginning of the book, offering an honest reflection on what it really takes to raise body-confident kids in today’s image-obsessed world. She breaks down:

  • Why so many parents (even pediatricians!) struggle with their own body image
  • How diet culture shows up in parenting—often without us realizing it
  • The toxic beauty ideals our kids face on social media and beyond
  • What kids really need to hear about health, weight, and self-worth
  • How we can model body confidence—while unlearning harmful messaging ourselves

Plus: Dr. Whitney shares how to grab a FREE bonus mini-course when you pre-order the book.
