What parents can do about disordered eating habits in children

Control and management does not foster healthy relationships. HARD FREAKING STOP.

This is what we are missing in our struggles with weight, eating habits, and yes, disordered eating of all varieties.

Have you noticed the way that disordered eating increases the more that there is focus on controlling eating?

And, in times like right now, when there's a lot of reasons to feel out of control, are coping strategies around food either look like restricting, controlling, or using food to comfort.

It makes sense. It makes sense why we're struggling, and also why the weight and control focused approaches are not making us any healthier.

There is no simple quick fix. That is the whole point. It's about building lifelong, healthy relationships, at every age, at every size.
