Overview

Worthy: Raising Body Positive Children, The Power of Kindness will help families care for children who are gaining too much weight too fast. Children with rapid weight changes often face stereotypes, social exclusion, and discrimination. They are likely to experience bullying and insensitivity outside and inside the home. When families, even those with the best intentions, attempt to address weight changes with children, they may unintentionally contribute to feelings of depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and poor body image. Worthy shows families how to use the power of kindness to create body-positive environments at home, school, and the doctor's office. Healing our sense of worthiness and our children's worthiness is emotional work that requires open, loving hearts to dissolve the shame and set productive boundaries. Worthy uses the best research and tools to help families build body-positive, loving homes filled with kindness and joy. Worthy encourages families to keep searching and keep hopeful until they find the right combination of things to help their children and themselves feel more confident and capable. We can do better for our children-we must-the consequences are too significant-the risk of having even one child going through weight changes feel unloved or unsafe is unacceptable. Every child is worthy of loving-kindness.
