Tom Wooldridge: End the Food Fight, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

ItâEUR(TM)s no surprise that eating disorders send parents into a panic. Even for kids getting professional help, family meals all too often end in raised voices and slammed doors when making a child eat doesn't work. In this powerfully compassionate book, psychologist Tom Wooldridge guides parents to take a different path. Dr. Wooldridge explains how eating disorder symptoms are fueled by out-of-control emotions that kids and teens can't put into words, and teaches specific parenting strategies that can help. Using guided practices and reflection prompts, parents learn to slow down their own emotional reactivity and remain present and attuned, no matter how impossible it feels. Vivid stories illustrate what it looks like to replace control with connection--and how it opens the door to recovery.
