Any conversations that involve *weight* can be really challenging and require a really thoughtful approach. This week, we chat with Dr. Peggy Greco, pediatric psychologist who specializes in eating disorders,  about how to talk with parents when 

  • you're concerned about their child's health and weight OR
  •  the parent is *overly* concerned about their child's weight. 

We discuss how to- use the "Yes AND" approach to :
- address parental fears and feelings about their child's weight
- AND shift the conversation from weight to health

We also talk about the importance of
- reflecting on your own experiences with weight, food, eating, etc.
- connecting with a larger team to care for kids with eating disorders, obesity
