Has the parent of your patient ever said, "What can I do to get him (patient) to lose weight?" Finding the right words to address weight concerns can be extremely challenging, but it's essential for you, as the clinician, to foster a healthy relationship with food and body image. Join Colleen and pediatric Registered Dietitian, Leah Hackney, in this thought-provoking episode as we unpack the sensitive topic of weight and nutrition concerns with children. You'll learn how we can address parents' weight concerns about their child without causing any harm or damaging the child's self-esteem. You'll be armed with numerous questions you can ask that will shift the focus off the child's weight and onto the behavior and family eating environment.  Learn how to create an environment of acceptance, hope and support for your patients!
