Guide: What to Do if Your Daughter or Son Has an Eating Disorder
I know it can be devastating to learn that your daughter or son has an eating disorder or to suspect that they’re struggling with their relationship to food (and their body). And I hear from parents every week about how they wish they knew what to do.
I’ve written a few articles that I hope will help parents who want to take steps to get their child help but don’t know where to start. Please read through them all and, if it’s your daughter who’s struggling, consider enrolling them in my online course shown below.
Online Course for Teens:
Online course for teens (12 videos delivered over 3 weeks via email).
Is your daughter not eating very much or dieting to lose weight? Is your son focused on his body and becoming rigid around food?
When teenagers begin showing signs of disordered eating, it’s important to intervene right away to stop them from developing an eating disorder. But if they won’t agree to get help, what do you do?
I’m Lori, an eating disorder therapist. I’ve designed a 3-week online course for teenagers who are restricting food, dieting, losing weight and are not willing to get help. That’s my specialty.
How it works
When you click “Add to cart,” you’ll enter your teenager’s name and email address. Then, click on the cart icon (the bottom righthand corner of your screen or on the right side at the top of the page) to pay.
Within 24 hours, your teen will begin receiving almost-daily emails from me with videos to watch. These emails last for 3 weeks.
It’s always best to talk to your teenager first before signing them up. They may be reluctant but I’ve made it really easy for them and have addressed this issue in the first video.*
* Please note that I cannot guarantee your teenager will complete the course. Pre-Contemplation is a very difficult stage to intervene at but I have a lot of experience with this group. I have designed the content with this in mind.
