Listening

Children hear you, not only your words, but your actions and your judgement. They are always watching. They are learning even when you are not trying to teach them. 

The thoughts that lead to some Eating Disorders begin with messages children receive and their inability to express emotions. 

Food can be soothing. Restricting food can also be soothing. 

Children need to learn how to express their emotions in healthy ways so that they grow up to be adults who can express their emotions in healthy ways.

Be kind. 

To yourself too.
