Encino Mom Bans F-word

When local mom Stephanie Wilder-Taylor's kindergartner came home with the fear of getting fat, she made a rule to never speak negatively about my body in front of her kids, she writes in her blog, "Baby on Bored: Electric Boogaloo."

As reported on ABC News, Wilder-Taylor, 42 of Encino, dances with her girls to show women should strut their stuff, despite their body shape. 

Having grown up battling a fear that her "normal Jewish hips and butt were unacceptable and undesirable," Wilder-Taylor says the " battle is exhausting, unwinnable and ultimately poisons a person’s ability to ever wear a bathing suit without throwing on a little sarong over it."

She writes that she knows she can't stop her daughters from worrying about their bodies, but that "what they hear at home can help or hurt their fledgling body image."

To that end, she encourages eating healthy food to give energy and to feed their brains, but never talks about calories. 

Rather than coming to her house and talking about negative body issues, "if you plan to come to my house, plan to get naked and dance," she writes.

We're curious—what do you think of this approach to helping kids with body image? How do you guide your children? Or is this a non-issue?
