The Food Talk: Raising Body-Confident Kids Without Diet Culture

The way we talk about food matters.

Long before kids begin making their own food choices, they're listening to the conversations happening around them—at the dinner table, in the grocery store, and even the comments we make about our own bodies. Those seemingly small moments can shape how children think about food, health, and themselves for years to come.

Join us for The Food Talk: Raising Body-Confident Kids Without Diet Culture, a practical, encouraging conversation about how to raise children who feel confident in their bodies, trust their hunger, and develop a healthy relationship with food—without fear, shame, or rigid rules.

Moderated by Sally Aldag, this conversation features Jennifer Anderson, Founder of Kids Eat in Color, and Dr. Whitney Casares, board-certified pediatrician, parenting expert, and author.

Together, we'll discuss:

• How the language we use around food shapes our children's relationship with eating
• Talking about nutrition without labeling foods as "good" or "bad"
• Raising kids who enjoy a wide variety of foods without pressure or power struggles
• Supporting body confidence from an early age
• Navigating comments about weight, bodies, and appearance
• Practical strategies for fostering lifelong healthy habits without diet culture

Whether you're introducing solids, navigating picky eating, or raising older kids who are beginning to notice conversations about food and bodies, you'll leave with practical tools and the confidence to create a healthier, more positive food environment at home.
