    B.the reason why children are suffering from eating disorders
    C.the steps parents should take to prevent their children from eating disorders
    D.all of the above .

    答案:D
    解析:
    主旨题。全文介绍了饮食不规律孩子的状况,饮食不规律的原因,以及对此给父母的建议。故本题选D。参考译文:在当今社会,我们看到越来越多的12岁以下儿童饮食失调。据估计,九岁的儿童中有40%已经开始节食,我们也能够看到四五岁的儿童也开始表达节食的意愿。这么小的孩子就被剥夺了童年,真是一大憾事。为什么会有这么多的孩子沉迷于节食和减肥呢?我觉得这和家庭环境有很大关系,另外一个事实是,孩子们不断地接触到社会传递的“瘦很重要”的信息。家庭功能缺失的孩子饮食失调的风险更高。在一个遭受身体虐待或性骚扰的家庭中,孩子可能会转向饮食失调以获得“控制感”。他们无法控制自己的身体在虐待期间的遭遇,但他们可以控制自己的食物摄入量或体重。自我强迫的饥饿也可能是他们试图隐藏自身的方式,这样他们就不用再遭受虐待。如果儿童生长在一个不允许表达情感的家庭中,那么他们也可能会饮食失调,因为这是他们处理情绪的方式。被强制进食的孩子通常会用食物来帮助自身处理愤怒、悲伤、受伤、孤独、被遗弃、恐惧和痛苦的情绪。如果孩子不被允许表达自身的情绪,他们可能会成为情绪化的食客。此外,如果父母过于关注自身,孩子可能会转向食物寻求安慰。如果父母过分在意孩子的外表和体重,孩子也有可能饮食失调。如果父母一直在节食,并且对自己的身材不满意,那么孩子就会认为外表很重要。在一些家庭中,父母把婴儿肥误认为是真正的肥胖,可能会试图强迫孩子节食。这不仅错误,而且很残忍。作为父母,你需要为孩子树立好的榜样,这意味着你应该健康饮食。另一件要记住的事是,孩子们饿了就吃,饱了就停。如果孩子不想吃,千万不要强迫他们吃。太多的家庭强迫孩子留在餐桌上,直到吃完盘子里的所有食物。这样做可能会导致孩子讨厌吃饭,对食物产生厌恶。锻炼也是个人生活的重要组成部分,我们需要协助孩子们参与体育活动,这意味着父母应该自发参加健康的锻炼。帮助孩子找到他们喜欢的活动以及全家人都能享受的活动。他们应当被告知体育活动对保持身体强壮健康和的重要性,而不是被告知锻炼只是为了保持身材苗条。
