"Fathers, don't comment on your daughters' bodies"


Often news programs present information relating to social issues.  Eating disorders are no different!  Here, in this clip from CBS, Katie Couric talks about the positive messages parents should send their children about eating disorders.  She suggests: "Fathers, don't comment on your daughters' bodies.  Mothers, don't talk about your endless diets."

What do you think about her advice to parents?  Should father's not participate in discussions about their daughters' bodies?  Should mothers hide their thoughts and actions relating to their own weight issues and body perception?  How should parents approach their daughters or sons about body perception, weight, and/or eating disorders?
