Overt restrictive feeding for weight management: a preliminary retrospective examination of childhood experiences.

Purpose: Overt restrictive feeding practices (ORFP), aimed at promoting weight loss or preventing weight gain for children, are often implemented by parents with good intentions. Despite findings that indicate unintended weight and behavioral outcomes little is known about how parental ORFP are experienced by those who are subjected to them. Thus, we explored retrospective accounts of meaning making related to experiences of such practices during childhood.

Last Word: Ending the intergenerational transmission of body dissatisfaction and disordered eating: a call to investigate the mother-daughter relationship.

The ubiquity and gravity of female body dissatisfaction and disordered eating has motivated countless academics and practitioners to better understand and treat these issues. Many researchers have found familial, and more specifically maternal influence, to impact daughters' development of body dissatisfaction and disordered eating. Researchers have demonstrated that mothers who struggle with body dissatisfaction and disordered eating tend to transmit and reinforce harmful weight-related attitudes and behaviours to their daughters, which has been found to result in the development of daughters' own body dissatisfaction and disordered eating.

Weight Bias in Educational Settings: a Systematic Review.

Purpose: To conduct a systematic literature review of empirical peer-reviewed published studies on the prevalence of weight bias among students, pre-service, and in-service teachers and its impact on the educational experiences and health of students from kindergarten to postsecondary settings.

Methods: Keywords were searched on three main concepts, (i) weight bias/stigma, (ii) obesity/overweight, and (iii) education, within eight databases. Our search yielded 8323 individual records, of which 45 studies satisfied our inclusion criteria.
