Three parents with five kids between them (age ranges 2-12) gather to discuss what it’s like to parent with body kindness, endure a child’s body shame at the doctors office, re-educate your child after the school’s health class taught diet tricks, what to say when your kid first says “fat” — as early as age three! And other things you need to know about raising kids with body kindness. About Kristy: Kristy Fassio is a former kindergarten teacher turned fitness professional turned counselor in training. She believes in joyful movement, the beauty of fat bodies, tapping into our own inherent wisdom, and Disney magic. When she isn't studying, she can generally be found driving her kids to dance lessons or watching crime dramas on TV.
