Parental control over children"s eating (what they can eat, how much, and negative/positive comments about child"s eating) Affection expressed through giving food (ex: rewarding good grades of behavior with ice cream) Parental role-modeling (how invested the parents are in their own appearance, history of dieting, comments parents make about their own weight and body, parents" eating behavior) Attractiveness of siblings: the less attractive sibling is at higher risk for an eating disorder. Getting teased about appearance by family or peers. Father hunger: when the father is distant or non-invested in the child"s life, the child may try harder to try and win his approval/please him. Often, fathers distance themselves from their daughters when the girls reach puberty. They are unsure how to relate to the daughter"s new sexual maturity or how to now show affection and love.
