When your kid is being bullied, this is where to start helping them.
First, help them feel safe with the emotions that they have right now. It's not about changing their body, their words, nor the discomfort that they feel. Do not switch into fix-it mode, that just teaches that their body and feelings need to be fixed.
I'm the pediatrician specializing in eating disorder prevention and helping entire families create lifelong relationships with food, body, and especially each other. This is real help without harm.
