Welcome to the Shaline Show. Shaline is a New York Times best-selling author celebrity fitness trainer and

Obsessed with helping you live your dream life. I'm Shaline Johnson. I am a New York Times best-selling author

I've created multiple exercise programs in commercials

I've written books and I received

Thousands of comments letters and increase from grown women and men just like you who have struggled their entire lives

With weight issues with their beliefs about their bodies their beliefs about their value whether they're a good person

And the one thing that I've learned in my experience is that so much of this stems from something that happens sometimes just one

Simple comment that they heard as a child so today

I want to give you some things that you absolutely must keep in mind if you have kids and for those of you who don't have kids and

You're interacting with kids

This is really important to you and if nothing else and may give you some insight as to why you personally struggle with body image

I can deliver to you the very most important thing that I think you need to know that everybody needs to know and it's this when dealing with kids

Never ever ever never under any circumstances should you talk to a kid about their weight period end of subject

Soon me if you disagree. I don't care if you disagree

It's my opinion and the reason why I have such a strong opinion on it is because I've seen

I've heard I've met so many people who struggle endlessly like they've thought of suicide

Thoughts of depression thoughts that they are a person who doesn't deserve love

Someone who's tortured themselves all their lives because of one really cool

unnecessary comment and you know we mean well as parents

We want our kids to have the best of all opportunities, right?

So we want them to be healthy. We don't want them to be teased

But dude listen to me your kids know your kid knows
