How to Nourish Your Child Through an Eating Disorder

Help your child eat normally again.

Parents are the first to know when their child starts behaving differently. Has your son stopped eating his favorite food, or does he refuse to eat out with friends? Has your daughter drastically increased her exercise regimen or become obsessed with health foods? These are among the telltale signs that your child, like millions of others, may have an eating disorder (ED).

In this essential guide, registered dietitians Casey Crosbie and Wendy Sterling introduce an all-new strategy you can use to help your child at home. The plate-by-plate approach is rooted in family-based treatment - the leading psychological therapy for EDs. Unlike complicated "exchange" systems, this is simple: Crosbie and Sterling coach you through every aspect of meeting your child's nutritional needs, using just one tool-a ten-inch plate.

Paired with therapy, this intuitive, visual method is the best way to support your child on the path to recovery. Plus, the authors cover how to talk about diet and weight, what to do while traveling, what to expect from your child's doctor, and much more.

Useful for AN only

Like so many books on eating disorders, this book briefly mentions the spectrum of eating disorders, but only discusses restricting in any depth. Much of the advice would be unhelpful to harmful if applied to BN or BED.

Also, I wouldn’t recommend this book if you’re not the intended audience (parents of kids with eating disorders featuring restriction). If you’re, say, looking for insights into how to recover from your own eating disorder, this book won’t offer you much. It may actually be overwhelming to the sufferer, as it advocates an authoritarian approach that may be discouraging or impractical for those suffering from an eating disorder themselves.

I Followed Along With My Hard Copy

I liked the narration. It helps especially since it’s such a sensitive topic to “not be alone.” If that makes sense. It’s not for the beginner parent/family/practitioner, so that might be a little misleading. Although you do learn terms like FBT, there is a lot that as a practitioner I don’t think is geared towards the parent (I couldn’t be wrong. I do think the hard copy is better for the parent, with the actual visuals/pictures of food it has). I would recommend this audible to anyone reading the book.
