In recognizing Eating Disorders Awareness Week, February 27th – March 5th, The Renfrew Center is sponsoring its annual support campaign. Our theme this year, “We’ve Got the Power” aims to acknowledge the effects of societal pressures to look or live a certain way.

This campaign is a call to action to wholeheartedly reject the messages which tell you you are not enough and to embrace yourself for all your eccentricities and imperfections. Find power in your vulnerability. http://ow.ly/KUiX50Mz4rN

Our expectations of children can be so high when, quite often, they are mirroring what we do. We may not see what they are doing as important, but it is to them. That doesn’t mean that they shouldn't do what we ask, but it does mean that we need to take into consideration what they are doing. We can't expect them to drop everything and respond straight away. Give them warnings for when they need to do something else. Or give them options for when they can do what you are asking. This really is just treating them with the respect we all want.
