Let's work to talk with out kids more about health and less about weight.

This week is National Eating Disorders Awareness Week. Some believe that eating disorders only effect adolescents through young adults. Young children, however, are being seen more and more frequently with disordered eating. Anorexia Nervosa has been diagnosed in children as young as six (scary). We've talked about children struggling with self-esteem and many eating disorders stem from a displaced need to deal with feelings they are not sure how to handle. Watch for the warning signs and work to eliminate negative talk about your own body image around your kids. Instead of talking about weight, talk about health.
