How to talk to kids about food and bodies—without guilt, shame, or fear.

Food Positivity is a compassionate, practical guide that helps parents shift the way they talk about food and bodies—so they can raise kids with healthy relationships with food, body image, and self-trust.

If you've ever worried about saying the wrong thing or passing down the same body shame you grew up with, you're not alone. Written by two registered dietitians and mums, this book unpacks the influence of diet culture and offers tools to help you break the cycle—starting with yourself. Inside, you'll learn how to:

  • Understand how children learn to think about food—and why common language often reinforces cycles of negative food and body beliefs.
  • Let go of guilt and second-guessing, while building more trust in how you feed your kids.
  • Navigate picky eating and food obsessions without pressure, bribery, or battles.
  • Talk about food and bodies in ways that nourish your child's physical and emotional well-being—for life.
  • Shift from control-based feeding to a trust-centred approach that supports intuitive eating and autonomy.

With tools you can use in real life—right away—Food Positivity helps you break free from the cycle of food and body shame without guilt, pressure, or perfection. This is your invitation to raise kids who feel confident in their bodies, curious about food, and free to trust themselves—all while growing your confidence as a parent.
