Subject: Eating Disorders

As many people in this class will go on to work with children and adolescents, this topic is even more necessary to cover.

Clearly, eating disorders are becoming a major problem, and they seem to develop earlier and earlier. Sedentary lifestyles are promoted by all kinds of things now, such as computers, video games, and television, which only make matters worse for someone with an eating disorder.

Unfortunately, not everyone realizes that dedicating hours of attention to any of these things is not a very good idea. Some are stronger than others, of course, but kids, for instance, often don't know when or how to be strong in this regard - they need parental supervision, which many aren't getting, so of course they're making poor decisions, overeating and never moving.
