Description - How to Nourish Your Child Through an Eating Disorder by Casey Crosbie

Parents of kids who are struggling with an eating disorder are often at a loss - how do I talk to my child about their disorder? How do I monitor their food intake? What should I feed them and how do I know that they're getting the nutrients they need? Now, registered dietitians Wendy Sterling and Casey Crosbie offer a groundbreaking approach that gives parents control of their child's health and enables them to put their kid on a path toward nutritional rehabilitation.

Unlike other methods that rely on the cumbersome use of exchanges, calorie counting, measuring, and food labels, this approach is simple and easy to implement using just one tool - a plate! Starting with the basics, HOW TO NOURISH YOUR CHILD THROUGH AN EATING DISORDER covers everything parents need to know about ED in kids - it walks readers through the warning signs of ED and the potential health risks involved, as well as how to productively talk about weight changes and set goals for treatment. Parents are taught how to incorporate structure and consistency at mealtime, to supervise meals, and to eat as a family again in order to support their child's recovery.
