In an Instagram post reflecting on their conversation, Kimmey relayed the message to her kids that having different amounts of fat doesn’t make one person better than another. The children grasped their mother’s message, repeating it back to her: “I shouldn’t say someone is fat because you can’t be just fat, but everyone has fat, and it’s okay to have different fat.”
Kimmey’s account of this empowering parenting experience quickly garnered attention, amassing more than 33,000 likes on Instagram. Her goal is to encourage fellow parents to set an example with body-positive language and actions for their children.
She stresses that parents should begin these important conversations early in a child’s life. Children face a barrage of unrealistic beauty standards from a young age, and Kimmey’s daughter’s use of the word “fat” exemplifies this influence.
