How do we raise kids who feel good in their own skin? In this heartfelt Whinypaluza Wednesday, Rebecca Greene is joined by her husband, Seth, and daughter, Ella, to dive into one of the most requested parenting topics: body confidence. Inspired by Ella’s Teenage Tuesday column about putting the scale away, the Greenes open up about family conversations, role modeling, and practical ways to nurture positive body image. From learning to compliment character over looks, to breaking free from diet talk, to making movement fun instead of a chore—this episode is packed with real insights every parent can use. You’ll hear stories, strategies, and even Ella’s wisdom that “the least important thing about you is how you look.” This is more than parenting advice—it’s a call to build homes where kids feel safe, supported, and celebrated for who they truly are. ⭐ Key Takeaways→ Kids mirror what we say about our own bodies.→ Replace diet talk with fueling and nourishing conversations.→ Compliment effort, kindness, and character more than looks.→ Movement should be fun, not punishment.→ Teach kids about filters and online image distortion. 💬 Quotes to Highlight “The least important thing about you is how you look.” – Ella Greene “Stop talking about diets—teach kids to fuel and nourish their bodies.” – Rebecca Greene 🔗 Call to Action👉 Share this episode with a parent or friend who cares about raising confident kids.👉 Join the free Whinypaluza Mom group on Facebook for community and challenges.👉 Sign up for Rebecca’s newsletter at whinypaluza.com for more parenting and marriage tips.
