18) PART TWO: Dr. Aubrey Carpenter on How to Talk to Our Kids About Food and Be Vulnerable As Parents

In today's episode we discuss how to talk about food and exercise around kids, why it's okay to be imperfect when we do and how vulnerability plays a huge role in that, the power of the word "should" (and why we might consider being more careful with it), AND we close out with Dr. Carpenter giving us two very tangible tips for navigating food conversations today. I do want to include a trigger warning at the 45 minute mark of this episode – I do bring up weight and numbers so if you know that would not be helpful to listen to, please skip the end section for your own wellbeing.   RESOURCES MENTIONED IN EPISODE: Richmond Wellness: https://linktr.ee/richmondwellnessvt | Instagram: @richmondwellnessvt Emily Piazza, RD (Gestational Diabetes specialist): https://nourishedjourney.co/ | Instagram: @nourished_journey Jennifer Anderson, RD MPH: Dietitian who posts excellent content about talking to kids about food | Instagram: @kids.eat.in.color Annie Valentine, MEd (currently at UVM, but specializes in eating disorders programming at the college level): https://www.uvm.edu/health/profiles/annie-valentine-med Dr. Becky Kennedy: www.goodinside.com, did a great podcast part 1 and 2 on reparenting yourself from the Internal Family Systems perspective with Glennon Doyle on We Can Do Hard Things Body Positivity vs. Neutrality: a brief primer - https://health.clevelandclinic.org/body-positivity-vs-body-neutrality   Upcoming RCK events with It Takes A Village: www.ittakesavillagevermont.com/events
