Grandir sans grossophobie : Favoriser une image corporelle saine chez nos enfants (transl. Growing Up Without Fatphobia: How to Promote a Healthy Body Image to Our Children) is the second book published by French Canadian author Edith Bernier.
It is seen as a timely, important, and compassionate book for parents everywhere, as well as educators and health experts. The author’s arguments are supported by a well-known consultant psychologist (Rose-Marie Charest) and nutritionist (Claudia Houle).
Summary
Many children grow up exposed to ambient fatphobia, which can become internalized. This may lead them to develop a distorted body image and pave the way to eating disorders and low self-esteem. This guide for parents, no matter what their own “body history” or physique, provides food for thought and tools to help break the cycle of fatphobia and body loathing for kids of all ages, from toddlers to preteens.
