Freeing Children and Young Adults from Shame, Scales, and Stigma by Lauren Hartman
This practical guide empowers parents, educators, and clinicians with the tools they require to free children and young adults from body shame and weight stigma.
Dr. Hartman delivers exactly what parents, educators, and clinicians need: real conversations, proven scripts, protocols, and actionable strategies to navigate challenging discussions about bodies, food, and health, backed by medical expertise. This book is organized into targeted sections for different audiences and charts a path toward a future where young people can embrace ease and individuality, free from diets and societal expectations about bodies.
Drawing from both scientific research and real-world practice, the book presents a compelling case for weight-neutral care that respects the diversity of human bodies while promoting sustainable health. Designed to be accessible and efficient with clearly organized sections, concise summaries, and ready-to-use resources for each context, it offers strategies for repair when conversations about weight and health haven't gone as intended. Whether you're a doctor in an exam room, a parent at the dinner table, or a teacher in a classroom, this book will help you feel confident and prepared to have these conversations in a way that prioritizes health without perpetuating stigma or harm.

"I was paying $11.99/month for Kindle Unlimited but realized I was renting books, not owning them. Bought this PDF and it's mine forever. Never going back to Kindle."
"Switched from Kindle to these PDFs. Same book, but I actually OWN it now. No monthly fees, no app required. Worth every penny."
"Kindle Unlimited kept raising prices. This is a one-time purchase and the file is permanently on my iPad. Best decision I've made for my reading habit."
"I compared Kindle vs this store. Kindle is cheaper monthly but you don't own anything. Here I paid once and the PDF is mine for life. Highly recommend."
"Left Kindle behind after they removed a book I was reading mid-series. With this PDF, nobody can take it away from me. True ownership feels good."
"Was skeptical about paying $18.95 when Kindle shows $3.99, but then I did the math — Kindle Unlimited is $143/year! This is way better value long term."
"Love that I can read this on any device without installing the Kindle app. The PDF works on my laptop, phone, and tablet seamlessly. So much freedom."
"My Kindle subscription was getting expensive. Switched to buying PDFs here and I'm saving money while actually building a permanent digital library I control."
