Promote a healthy body image
Some self-criticism is normal, but kids who obsess about their weight or their looks may be on the road to trouble that can affect their health and their schoolwork. To set a healthy example, avoid criticizing your body or anyone else's. Teach your child to make nutritious food choices, but don't allow dieting without a doctor's approval. Then, promote wellness by making fitness into fun for the whole family. Hike, ride bikes or play sports together.
