Parental Commitment
Coping With a Child Who Has an Eating Disorder
| 1. |
I will learn all I can about eating disorders and seek professional guidance for helping my child. |
| 2. |
I will participate in support groups, counseling and family therapy as recommended by treatment professionals. |
| 3. |
I will develop appropriate confrontation and conflict resolution skills to enhance respectful communication with my child. |
| 4. |
I will not "police" my child's food intake or weight. Rather, I will talk directly to my child about my concerns. |
| 5. |
I will provide healthy and nutritional meals and I will not enable disordered eating behaviors by purchasing or preparing special foods. |
