Care & Feeding: Why Is My Friend Body Shaming Toddlers?
On this episode: Jamilah, Elizabeth and Zak help a listener who\u2019s wondering why her friend is bodyshaming her own toddler so intensely \u2014 not to mention our listener\u2019s kid, too \u2014 and what to do about it. These kids are still little enough to avoid lifelong damage to their relationships with food, and their bodies\u2026 but where\u2019s the line when it comes to telling this friend to shut it and let the kids eat cake?\n\nWe\u2019ll also debrief with a round of parenting Triumphs & Fails \u2014 and we'll share an update on the tricky question we tackled earlier this week about not liking your kid.\n\nJoin us on Facebook and email us at careandfeedingpod@slate.com to ask us new questions, tell us what you thought of today\u2019s show, and give us ideas about what we should talk about in future episodes.
