About this listen

Is your daughter struggling with an eating disorder? How can you be sure? Do you remember the last time she ate a meal rather than moving food around the plate? How often does she finish a meal in its entirety? Can you be sure she's alright? I can help you.

This book is dedicated to helping parents understand an eating disorder called Anorexia Nervosa. I am writing based on my experience with the disease. Too many parents go through the motions of work, home, small talk and repeat with their daughters. This book can help identify the patterns and pitfalls of anorexia in your daughter.

Twenty years ago, I was caught in the grips of Anorexia Nervosa. The disorder made me feel as though I was cutting myself on the inside. I stood at 5 foot 2 inches, weighed 92 pounds, and wore a size zero in jeans. I will relate to you the ways I beat this eating disorder and how you can help your daughter do the same.

It is important to understand, this disease is not attention seeking, but instead a reaction to overattentive environments. If you listen through this book, you will find tips and guides to understand your daughter's struggle. This guide serves to help navigate the tightrope of a highly delicate topic with your daughter.

Today we find ourselves interacting more through mass media and phone applications than on an individual level. It would be nice to be able to sit down and have a sincere talk about our feelings, relationships, and stressors. Instead, daily, most girls in your daughter's immediate circle are fighting for "likes" and approval of their surrounding groups.

Can you honestly say your daughter looks happy? Just generally. Are you noticing her eating habits too much or too little? Do you discuss her or interact with her at the dinner table? There is a clear difference. I can show you the way forward.

How to understand each other!

This content really got me as we are going through the same situation with my daughter.

The content is just amazing, it can be a lifesaver, life-changer if we follow the tips and accept our mistakes too. It is difficult to accept that our kids can pick up bad habits and then become sick because of us. They build a wall around themselves and not going to trust anyone even the parents which happened in our case too. Thanks to some therapy we did manage to break those walls and communicate the issues properly.

This book will show you how to understand this disease and how to get your children to communicate with us again which is Really really important! Definitely recommended content to those parents who are in this situation with their kids!

Excellent book!

As parents, we always want the best for our children, and sometimes we find ourselves unprepared to help and support them with the challenges that they may be going through, and that is where a book like this becomes a very valuable resource. The author did a great job highlighting the importance of having open communication with your child, as well as providing information and guidance on the many aspects of this eating disorder.

Huge Help For Parents!

My daughter is too young for me to have to worry about this just yet, but I am trying to be aware of what she might face. This book is perfect for parents to understand if their daughter is suffering from Anorexia, and how to recognize it because most likely she is not going to just tell you. I love how the author focuses so much on correct communication with your daughter, I believe that would make all the difference.
