What can parents do to reduce the risk of eating disorders among their children and teens?
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: Eating disorders are more common among children and teens who have negative perceptions of body image, emotional issues, or peer pressure. Open communication about healthy eating; emphasizing good health, (instead of thinness), is important. Strong family bonds promote healthier habits. Early intervention with a registered dietitian/nutritionist, psychologist and physician is critical.
