Description

Welcome to the community where we parent without weight worries. Dr Wendy Schofer is the pediatrician and Weight Coach for Your Whole Family, specializing in helping parents who are worried about their kids' weight help the whole family build better relationships with food and body and each other. Creating lifelong habits for a healthy weight is now easy and fun for the whole family. And, you grow closer to your whole family all along the way. Yes, we talk weight and weight loss. And we emphasize learning to love and accept our bodies as they are before making any change. Because no one has to change their body or their weight to feel better. Let me show you how. There is a better way to approach concerns about body image, weight, and obesity in our families: it's focusing on what we want to gain as we heal one relationship at a time.
