This dissatisfaction can lead them to resort to high-risk practices. Dieting, miracle products promising weight loss or muscle gain or working out excessively are some examples of this. As a parent, when should you start being concerned and what should you do?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most parents are happy to see their teen getting physical exercise or even eating healthfully. Changing their habits by including, for example, more fruits and vegetables, is a great idea. However, eating habits or physical activity solely focused on weight loss or controlling body image is the first warning sign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following are examples of behaviours to look out for regarding eating habits:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Regularly skipping one or more meals.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Going on a \u2018crash\u2019 diet that involves, for example, completely eliminating food groups (e.g. no longer eating grain products).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fasting (e.g. not eating any food for several hours).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Being constantly preoccupied with what\u2019s on their plate.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Withdrawing to eat or avoiding outings because of the food being served.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Using laxatives or other products that promise weight loss.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Regarding excessive exercise, generally defined as over-investment in physical activity, here are a few signs to look out for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Being obsessed with working out.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Neglecting areas of their life that do not involve physical exercise (e.g. school, friends, leisure activities, sleep, etc.).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Continuing to work out even while they are sick, exhausted or injured.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Believing they never work out enough.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Over emphasizing the importance of their weight, body appearance and\/or performance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Suffering from more negative effects associated with the physical activity than positive effects and continuing with the exercise nonetheless.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Experiencing significant changes in their body and\/or eating habits.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In short, eating should be fun, not a restriction, control, or an obligation. Likewise, doing a physical activity should be fun and lead to feelings of pride and accomplishment.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"highlight-box box-style-black\">\r\n    <div class=\"row align-items-center\">\r\n        <div class=\"col\">\r\n            <div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\r\n<h3 class=\"title-icon h3\">\r\n    <span class=\"title-icon-icon\">\r\n       <i class=\"fa-classic fa-regular fa-users\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>    <\/span>\r\n    Did you know\u2026<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>These high-risk practices may lead to\u00a0<strong>serious consequences<\/strong>\u00a0for teens who are going through a time of rapid growth. For example, teens who are on a restrictive diet may become tired, distracted, dizzy and starved. Their growth may also be affected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Excessive exercise may cause generalized exhaustion, muscle tears and fractures. It is not unusual to see a teen<strong>\u00a0combine weight-loss methods<\/strong>, both diet and physical activity, to reach their goals. If your teen adopts one or more of these high-risk behaviours, it is important that you see a health professional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In general, to provide your teen with better guidance, encouraging a health body image and self-esteem is key.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\n<\/div>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n\r\n<\/section>\r\n    <div class=\"container-deco deco-bottom container-bg-color-white\">\r\n            <\/div>\r\n\n\n\r\n    <div class=\"container-deco deco-top container-bg-color-gray-light\">\r\n            <\/div>\r\n<section class=\"container-eklo add-table-content has-background has-gray-light-background-color container-padding-4em\">\r\n\r\n    <div class=\"container\">\r\n                <div class=\"container-eklo-content eklo-deco\" >\r\n            <div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">To better support<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em><em>* It should be noted that the following targeted approaches are also presented in the fact sheet \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/enmodeado.ca\/en\/boite-a-outils\/body-image\/\">Body Image<\/a>\u201d.<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\r\n<div class=\"accordions-block\">\r\n        \n<div class=\"accordion\" data-aos=\"fade-up\">\r\n    <h3 class=\"accordion-title\">\r\n        <a class=\"accordion-link\" role=\"button\" href=\"#panel-communication-970\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"panel-communication-970\">\r\n            <i class=\"fa-classic fa-regular fa-comment-dots fa-xl\"><\/i>Communication        <\/a>\r\n    <\/h3>\r\n    <div class=\"accordion-panel\" id=\"panel-communication-970\" style=\"display: none;\">\r\n        \n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Talk with your teen to help them accept differences in body types such as height, weight, skin, figure, hair, etc. These differences are what makes each of us unique!<\/li>\n\n<li>Avoid talking about your teen\u2019s weight, your weight or other peoples\u2019 weight.
