Concern over increased childhood obesity has spurred various
school-based interventions. However, these interventions often have
little positive effect and may inadvertently contribute to
unhealthy behaviours during weight loss attempts. Indeed, a general
emphasis on appearance and weight (rather than health) can promote
eating disordered behaviours. This book provides a conceptual model
for understanding both obesity and eating disordered behaviours.
Specifically, it advocates for body acceptance and intuitive eating
- a flexible, healthy eating behaviour involving awareness of the
body's hunger and satiety cues. Within this context, the chapters
review evidence-based school interventions in nutrition,
self-regulation, exercise, body acceptance, media literacy, and
mindfulness. Guidance is also provided for identifying, referring,
and supporting students with emerging eating disorders. Without
empirically supported guidance, schools run the risk of
implementing ineffective or harmful programming in an effort to do
good. Thus, this book is a much needed resource for teachers,
administrators, counsellors, nurses, and other school personnel.
