Ep. 19: Myths & Truths About Eating Disorders with Oona Hanson

Happy 2021 everyone! In the first episode of season 2, Anna M. & Anna L. have a conversation with Oona Hanson, an educator who provides support to parents of teens & tweens as a parent coach.

We discuss:

• Some common, yet false, assumptions about eating disorders.
• Ways these misconceptions increase risks for people who may be ‘flying under the radar’ and not getting diagnosed (and therefore not getting the help they need).
• Effective strategies parents can use to help kids appreciate body diversity.
• The importance of the messages we send our kids about food & bodies.
• How modeling acceptance of body changes fosters body confidence in a child.
