Thank you for the link to the Nurture research program at UNC. This kind of research is very encouraging. So many of us parents are struggling to know how to raise our children with healthy attitudes about food, weight and body image when we had very poor role models ourselves.
A couple of books that I've found helpful in this area are "you'd be so pretty if..." by Dara Chadwick and "Outsmarting the Mother-Daughter Food Trap: How to Free Yourself from Dieting -- and Pass On a Healthier Legacy to Your Daughter."
