Promoting Positive Body Image in your Teen/Tween

This free workshop from the Multi-service Eating Disorders Association will offer techniques and strategies to help parents of students ages 10-14 foster the development of positive body image and a healthy relationship with food. 

Tuesday, March 12, 7:00 – 8:30 pm a
Day Middle School (Library), 21 Minot Place, Newtonville

Does your child seem preoccupied with her appearance and weight? Do you wonder if your son’s exercise habits have become too intense? Maybe you aren’t even sure if you should be worried? Given that hospitalizations of children under 12 with eating disorders jumped 119% between 1999 and 2006, it is hard to even know what “normal” is for kids these days.
