Resumen del Editor

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.

Great for parents!

This audiobook is great for parents who aren't sure if their child is having trouble with anorexia and want to learn more. My favorite part of this book is the topic on communication since I find this can be one of the hardest things to figure out especially when kids get to their teens. Without solid and constant communication is hard to really know what's going on with your child and if they are having issues with anorexia. Excellent book!
