Appreciated this one. It was especially interesting for me to read because I have a little child (>1 percentile) who requires monthly doctor visits for weigh-ins, so this was helpful to have as a resource as I navigate that medically.
Also helpful for my sweet, very-changed postpartum body to remind myself that bodies are good and weight is not reflective of morality or health. I am learning in this area! Sole-Smith does good work.

PHENOMENAL! This book should be required reading for anyone who interacts with kids of any age. This might be the most important and useful parenting book I've ever read. And honestly, it made me rethink how I think about my own body and where that comes from.
A lot of good perspectives on the pervasiveness of anti fat biases, trying to catch and correct your own thinking, as well as a thoughtfully supporting kids and youth in your life. Some definite inconsistencies in the presentation of research related causation/correlation links in favour of Sole-Smith’s point of view. Still worth the read, for many first-person insights and perspectives to keep in mind, and for pointing out many existing gaps in weight related literature; if not for scientific objectivity.
So thought provoking, affirming, and convicting - a must read for anyone who has a body and anyone raising a child with a body ... so, um, everyone!
This book was recommended by a few parents I know. It brought up some great points about diet culture and our anti-fat culture. I don’t think I’m the target audience of the book though. The book also seems to suggest that we let our kids eat what they want, and I am not worried about my kid’s weight at all, I don't have issues with processed foods, but I can’t just let him eat what he wants because he would just eat candy and snacks for months on end without ever eating dinner at all. And I’m just kinda peeved the book didn’t address that issue since j think lots of parents face that issue. But it’s ok if I’m simply just not the person the book was designed to reach

This book has changed the way I think about fatness. It’s given me a lot of concrete suggestions for how i can change my own perception of fatness and also raise my daughter.
