VICKI BRATTON AND HER 8 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER CATHERINE ARE GETTING MORE THAN A COOKING LESSON...THEY'RE LEARNING THAT A HEALTHY ATTITUDE TOWARDS FOOD LEADS TO A HEALTHY BODY. I love the good message that we're learning that healthy food is fun. CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGIST DINA ZECKHAUSEN, FOUNDER OF THE EATING DISORDERS INFORMATION NETWORK, TEACHES MOTHERS HOW TO BE POSITIVE ROLE MODELS FOR THEIR DAUGHTERS. It's important that you don't put yourself down in front of your daughter because she has an adult woman's body in her future and she's looking to you in terms of how to feel about that body. She's taking notes whether you know it or not. SOME OF THESE MOMS ARE TAKING NOTES TOO. Once I heard her talk about that I realized so many things come out of my mouth that I don't expect, but everything we say their ears are hearing and they are processing it. BY CUTTING OUT NEGATIVE BODY TALK, ZECKHAUSEN BELIEVES THESE YOUNG GIRLS WILL HAVE A BETTER IMAGE OF THEMSELVES AS THEY GROW OLDER.
