Does My Child Need an Eating Disorder Treatment Program?
This question is one that many parents ask themselves whenever they see that their child’s eating habits have changed significantly. Unfortunately for many children, this is as far as the though goes. Far too many parents fail to actually recognize the fact that the changes in the way their child is eating are a precursor to what can become a serious eating disorder that can lead to severe medical problems or to death.
At the same time, you do have to realize that just because your child has taken a greater interest in the way they eat, may not mean that they need to be immediately enrolled in an eating disorder treatment program. If you suspect that your child has or may be developing an eating disorder, you should talk to your family doctor and have your child evaluated.
