Dads falter at talking to daughters about body image

Fathers often feel uncomfortable discussing body image and health with their daughters, a study indicates. Though she is the Director of the Center for Body Image Research at the University of Missouri, even Virginia Ramseyer Winter still often worries if her family is doing everything they can to make sure her daughter has a positive relationship with her body. “I have a daughter that falls in this age range, between 5 and 10, so certainly it’s something that I’m always navigating at home, and my spouse her dad is also navigating,” Ramseyer Winter says. “You know, I work in this field and it’s still really tricky. How do you talk about food in a way that helps kids develop a healthy relationship with it and prevent eating disorders, and focus on their character as opposed to the way they look?”
