Body image issues: She is too young for such worries ... Are there other family issues going on? Parental conflict? A parent with similar issues? If you think its a passing concern, reinforcing her self-esteem would be helpful. If you think this may be a serious problem, consider counseling with a therapist with expertise in this area. Better to deal with this now than when she is 17 and anorexic or bulimic!
