How to help your child who struggles with weight, eating habits and mental health- without shame or harm.
I've learned so much about what DOESN'T work for our families' health in my 20+ years as a pediatrician in the military: shame, restriction, searching for quick fixes and magic bullets (they don't exist).
What does work: cooling the stress for parents, accessing resources and community as connection heals relationships with food, body and each other.
There's no rush.
Slow down.
Any quick fixes is just trying to sell you something that isn't a lifelong healthy change.
