Some diets are just that-a brief episode of calorie or fat
counting; they are merely attempts to lose weight for the
sake of a smaller skirt size. Other diets, however, are a
prelude to the kind of problem with food that has nothing
to do with shape or size but rather emotional issues which,
left undetected, could bring a child to the brink of a
serious eating disorder. The line between one and the other
is sometimes hard to determine and many girls slip over
that line quickly and quietly. Outlining the findings of Dr. Michael Strober's original
research-that there are three distinct stages of eating
disorders- Just a Little Too Thin helps parents detect the
severity of a child's weight issues and helps them steer
her clear of-or maneuver herself off-a slippery slope that
could lead to Anorexia Nervosa. Offering expert guidance on
how to talk about weight and eating in ways that won't
alienate the child in question, it also provides parents
with the tools to help them cope with the emotional issues
that are feeding their child's obsession with their weight.
No matter where a child rests on the continuum of eating
behaviors, Just a Little Too Thin is an invaluable aid for
parents intent on keeping their children emotionally and
physically healthy in a world of unprecedented pressures.
