Parents have such strong affects on their kids without realizing it. Eating disorders and body dismorphia are two examples. Parents (moms espescially) talk about how skinny and/or fat they are, how they need to go on a diet, how certain clothes make them look fat and/or curveless, how desserts will go straight to their hips – the parents talk, and the kids listen.
Parents are passing these issues down from generation to generation. To quote the YouTuber ‘Boyinaband’, in his music video ’Don’t Stay in School’ – - “They say it’s not the kids, the parents are the problem / Then if you taught the kids to parent that’s the problem solved then!”
