[quote=Anonymous]I did not have an eating disorder, but I was very aware of my weight and went on mini-diets at age 8-9: something I attribute to being pretty involved in ballet/dance. (Incidentally, if your DD does dance seriously, this would be a red flag.) And I grew up in a more innocent age of the the 80's. Kids these days are subject to much more weight-related messaging. I think PPs are being naive to think that a 8-yr-old is somehow immune to this just because of her age. This does not at all mean your DD has a eating problem, just that I definitely think body image issue can strike pretty early.[/quote]
