Fatal Trend
Pro-Anorexia Web SitesBy Gwen Morrison
Parents need to be aware of what Internet sites their children are visiting. There are many computer programs available that have the capacity to block out offensive Web sites.
Natenshon has created two Web sites designed specifically for parents and children who are dealing with the emotional and the physical challenges of an eating disorder. These Web sites are a wholesome alternative to the dangerous pro-anorexic Web sites and an invaluable resource for parents and children.
| Healthy Web Sites For more detailed information on body image and anorexia in children, visit Empowered Kidz, a site for children who seek answers to pressing personal questions about body image, weight management and healthy eating.
