In this episode, parents speak out about why they would not use Kurbo Weight Watchers App to help their kids lose weight or or build “healthy lifestyles”. Tune in to hear their heart wrenching stories of their own struggles with body shame and diets. Plus you’ll hear me share what I found deeply concerning about the Kurbo when I used it for just a few days— and perhaps most important, I’ll share inspiring insights for what you can do if you are a parent concerned about your kids health and weight.  Links mentioned Please sign the petition: WW, Remove Children's Weight Loss App Before Countless Eating Disorders Occur Why Critics Think a Weight Watchers App for Kids is Totally Wrong - Sally Kuzemchak, Parents A New Weight Watchers App for Kids Raises Concerns - Virginia Sole-Smith, New York Times Weight Watchers Is Harming Kids For Money - Ragen Chastain, Dances With Fat NEDA Statement On Kurbo By WW App - National Eating Disorders Association Weight Watchers made a 'healthy eating' app for kids.
