• Examine your own body Image—your children watch what you do and follow your actions.
• Examine your expectations for your children and other loved ones. Are those expectations realistic? Are you emphasizing external rather than internal qualities?
•  Learn how to model healthy eating and positive body image.
• Try not to classify foods as “Good” or “Bad”
• Be a good role model: if you take care of your body and eat sensibly, your child will.
• Remember, a lot about size is in the genes.
• Make a decision not to avoid activities because they may call attention to your weight.
• Recognize people for who they are and what they do, not for what they look like or how they appear.
• Commit to helping children (male and female) understand the ways in which television, magazines, and other media distort the true diversity of human body types and imply that thinness is the only way to succeed.
• Commit to educating boys and girls of the different forms of violence, including weightism, and their responsibilities for preventing it.
• Encourage your children to be active and to appreciate what their bodies can do. Help them enjoy the “good feeling” of being active. Make exercise fun and positive.
•  Promote the self-esteem and self-respect for your daughters, nieces and sisters in intellectual, athletic and social endeavors. Give boys and girls the same opportunities and encouragement. Treat your sons and daughters equally—don’t discourage nontraditional roles.
