[quote=Anonymous]+1 to pps response above. And try to avoid “good food vs bad food” talk completely. Food is food, keep it really neutral and focus more on listening to your body. And calories show the amount of energy in a food (focusing on the actual science of it, not the dieting use of it). It’s a good time to start helping her become more aware of what information people might be trying to give her and why - what are these food advertisements we just saw together trying to make you think? To market to you?” And always always avoid any talk at all about your own body, trying to lose weight or “eat healthy” with goals of trying to change your body as this has been shown to really really impact kids. Kids eat in color on Instagram is mostly for younger kids but has some good info on this, I think she probably has a relevant highlight [/quote]
