Cindy Crawford does not want her children to be influenced by catwalk models' 'very thin' frames.
The 48-year-old model, who has daughter Kaia, 13, and son Presley, 15, with her husband Rande Gerber, said she makes a "conscious" effort to teach the youngsters about healthy body images, reported Evening Standard paper.
"If my daughter sees me accepting my body the way it is and not denigrating myself because I'm not stick thin, or only eating lettuce with no dressing... If she sees I enjoy food, but I also exercise.
"I mean, I don't sit around with a pint of ice cream watching TV, but at the same time if we all go out for ice cream as a family, I'll order some. A kiddie-size one, but that's the way you do it. I'm very conscious that I want (Kaia) to get the right message because what you see in the magazines and on the runways, it is a very thin image.
