To reduce the chance of your child developing an eating disorder, keep the following in mind:
- Avoid complaining about your body, particularly in front of children. Don’t talk about calories, diets and weight.
- Emphasize your child’s talents and qualities. Don’t focus on their physical appearance.
- Avoid comments about your child’s weight, especially when they can hear you speaking.
- Live with a positive attitude to body image, not with a focus on food and weight.
