Directions
- When kids are young start steps to stop anorexia. Educate kids positive body images, particularly women who might feel like diet and exercise will provide them with a model’s body. Unless kids are significantly overweight, don’t support dieting.
- Watch teens carefully. While anorexia cuts across race and class lines, it’s more common amongst overachieving, perfectionist type girls. Listen to your son or daughter if they start claiming they are fat, particularly if they are not.
- Supply your kid with a ear so she may come to-you to discuss stresses and fears.
- Noting the shape and size of other people, particularly in terms, can make children fearful of how others see their bodies. They do not want people talking about them as you are talking about others.
- Don’t tease anyone about their health, even in enjoyment. Teenagers are exceptionally sensitive and many do not enjoy being laughed at.
