How Can Men Help to Prevent Eating Disorders?
Men can help in the battle against eating disorders in many ways. First, fathers need to accept how important they are to their daughters. They often feel that girls only need their moms, especially during adolescence. Yet this is the time when male approval is most crucial to girls. Over the course of their relationship, adolescence is probably the most challenging time for a father and daughter. This is also the time eating disorders are most likely to develop, so men must find positive ways to relate to their daughters.
