11. Tina Laboy and Rachel Coleman on Talking to Children About Food

This episode is all about food! Tina Laboy and Rachel Coleman are the co-hosts of Mom Genes the Podcast. Tina is a Registered Dietician and certified personal trainer who lives in Austin Texas, and Rachel is a Marriage and Family Therapist and a Certified Eating Disorder Specialist who lives in Southern California. Together on their podcast, they take listeners on a journey of unpacking their old beliefs about food and weight to increase their confidence and raise body confident kids.
I was curious to find out what advice Tina and Rachel could share about what language that can use - and what language we should avoid - when talking to children about food and about their bodies. I think this is a topic that a lot of parents and teachers struggle to approach in any language, and I knew they would have some great advice. Plus, Tina and Rachel are both moms (Rachel is a mom of three and Tina is a mom of one, with another due at the end of January) and Tina’s son goes to a Spanish-immersion preschool, so we also chatted about what that experience has been like for her family.
