In a recent Parents Magazine article discussing the “SkinnyTok” trend, Dr. Heather Rosen, director of the eating disorders program at Psychology Partners Group, provided valuable insights into the harmful effects of this social media phenomenon. Dr. Rosen, an expert in eating disorder treatment, agreed with the assessment that SkinnyTok promotes unrealistic body standards and contributes to feelings of inadequacy, particularly among vulnerable tweens and teens. She also offered practical suggestions for parents on how to navigate these conversations, emphasizing the importance of getting curious about what their children are seeing online.
