Shielding your kids from eating disorders
November 10th, 2008
Hi, Everyone –
A disturbing article came out in the UK’s Sun today. The article discusses the recent rise in the number of young girls battling eating disorders. In just 13 months, the British Pediatric Service Unit reported that there were 206 cases of anorexia in children under the age of 13, and the youngest reported was just six-years-old.
It is so important that kids have good role models when it comes to eating, being active and accepting their bodies. With all of the negative images in the media, it is even more important that kids have positive influences they can emulate. How do you keep your kids grounded when it comes to a healthy lifestyle?

Eat when you’re hungry, don’t look in the mirror and say you’re fat, eat real food not stuff that comes in boxes, stop demonizing fat people.
