Parents of the Year
We were never given a manual on how to parent. It is easy to get overwhelmed to know the right thing to do. There is so much contradictory information out there and everyone has their own advice. Parenting is a rewarding but messy, confusing, infuriating, guilt-inducing, and overwhelming journey. While it's easy to get lost, Andrew Stewart, a real dad, and Dr. Caroline Buzanko, a real mom, child psychologist, and parenting expert (who also happens to be married to Andrew) will help you get back on track. In each episode, Andrew and Caroline have open and honest chats about everything parenting. Join them in honesty, laughter, and tears (Caroline is a bit of a cry baby) as they help you navigate this journey of parenting. And, every so often, you may get some gems of expert advice. Our goal is to make your parenting journey less stressful, more forgiving, and more awesome. Please join us every Wednesday for new episodes of Parenting of the Year.
Parents of the Year
107. How can we raise children with a positive body image?
Today on Parents of the Year, Andrew and Caroline sit down with Marla, the creator of "Love Your Body, Love Yourself," to explore the deep and complex relationship between body image, food, and self-esteem.
In this episode, we delve into how societal pressures, family dynamics, and the digital age impact our self-perception and what we can do to foster a healthier, more positive body image in ourselves and our children. Whether you're struggling with your own body image or seeking ways to support your children, this conversation offers valuable insights and practical tips for all of us to embrace ourselves fully and living life to the fullest.
