Fathers influence the perception of their bodies by their daughters. Depending on their attitude, the girls form a different view of their body. Some fathers unconsciously push girls to eating disorders in adolescence, according to an online edition for girls and women from 14 to 35 years old Pannochka. Net According to the nutritionist W. Stewart Agras, all previous studies on this topic ignored the role of the father in the development of this problem. The father should not criticize the weight or figure of the girl, because in the future it can lead to serious eating disorders. On the contrary, the role of the father should be reduced to developing self-confidence and love for the positive aspects of his appearance, he believes..

Internal concern with its weight along with high social pressure can become serious risk factors for the development of nutrition problems in the late adolescent period, experts say..

To identify the role of the father in the development of eating disorders, Agras and colleagues organized a study involving 134 children6 which they observed from birth to age 11.

Since the age of 2 years in the study group, polls were conducted among parents on the weight of their children and eating habits in general.

The results showed that the role of the father in the development of food disorders is colossal. The greatest impact on children was provided by fathers who are overweight. Their influence could be either direct or indirect: they could either criticize the daughter's forms directly, or voice their own thoughts about what forms and weight an attractive woman should have.

Excessive monitoring of the baby's diet and pressure on it due to excess weight can also lead to eating disorders in the future.

Completely attitude to the problem of excess weight and the shape of your body in a child are formed to the third class of the school.

Accordingly, measures for the prevention of eating disorders should be carried out earlier and affect also parents.

The image of family nutrition also becomes an important aspect of the formation of the attitude to nutrition in general, say nutritionists. Problems of weight loss and diets should not be an important part of family communication and life. It is much more important to make healthy eating habits and lifestyle in general a part of family life.
