| What you say and how you say it matters |
| Parents, coaches and teachers can have a profound impact on the development of children and adolescents. This supportive influence and the power of words can promote healthy development. Tweens or teens want to make the adults around them proud. The following points and dialogue box provide guidance for what to say and how to say it. 1. Create a positive environment that de-emphasizes appearance and weight. Try not to say things like, “You look fit” or “You want to be thinner?” Instead, focus on comments like, “You feel better” or “Your jump was strong” or “Your endurance is improving.” 2. Approach the student with an air of concern and care, not criticism. 3. Identify your own issues with weight and the culture and how this may be impacting the team or classroom. Be a good role model and practice moderate nutrition and exercise habits. 4. Diminish focus on attributes, like body shape, that may be out of the student’s control. |
