How To Talk To Kids About Health And Weight


Hi. I have a real concern about my 10 year old daughter and her obsession with food and always asking when the next meal is hiding food and looking for the next treats. She has gained quite a bit of weight lately and I’m stressed about it. I’m just not sure if it’s my thoughts or if there is a healthy way I could address it with her. I had a mom that talked a lot about weight and made a big deal about it and I didn’t like and struggles with an eating disorder and placed my value on the way I looked for many years. I do t want to do that but I feel I have an obligation to teach something. Please help. Thank you
