CULTIVATE AND REINFORCE A HEALTHY BODY IMAGE
Talk to your child about self-image and offer reassurance that body shapes can vary. Avoid criticizing your own body in front of your child.
TALK TO YOUR CHILD
It's crucial to correct any misperceptions and talk to your child about the risks of unhealthy eating choices.
ENLIST THE HELP OF YOUR CHILD'S DOCTOR
Doctors may be able to identify early indicators of an eating disorder. The doctor visits should include checks of height and weight, which can alert you and your child's doctor to any significant changes.
