how (even inadvertently) we signal to children that they should think negatively about their bodies and how they look,&#8217; she said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8216;There is also research evidence to suggest that some four-year-olds are aware of strategies as to how to lose weight.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">It follows an investigation last year where researchers tracked 6,000 children from their primary years to the age of 14 in the largest UK study of juvenile eating disorders.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Children as young as eight were found to be dissatisfied with their bodies &#8211; with the most unhappy facing a higher risk of teenage eating disorders.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Relatively small increases in self-esteem at that age reduced the risk of later eating disorders, they found.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>    <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"i-97be21fa604774fe\"

suggested parents could help with body confidence issues by encouraging children to focus on who they are as a person rather than what they look like<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">In the latest study, experts admitted the sample size of 361 meant more research was needed in this age group.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">But Dr Harding said there were simple tips parents could follow including talking about their own bodies in a positive way.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">She also suggests building their\u00a0self-confidence and self-image by focusing on who they are as a person \u2013 rather than what they look like.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">For example, praising them for acts of kindness towards others and not for looking pretty or handsome.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Pacey is the early years partner for Be Real, a movement campaigning to change body image attitudes aiming to put health above appearance in young people.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Denise Hatton, chief executive of YMCA England which is also part of the campaign, said the survey was the latest in a growing body of evidence highlighting the worrying trend.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8216;Body confidence issues are prevalent among young people today and the survey results add to the array of evidence that suggests intervention at a young age is necessary,&#8217; she said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8216;This is why the Be Real Campaign is working with partners such as PACEY to develop resources and materials to help schools, parents and students challenge the way young people view and talk about their bodies.&#8217;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p
