When the subtle signs of disordered eating sneak into a home parents and carers often wonder: when should I worry? When is disordered eating serious? What should I do first if I suspect an eating disorder?
Paediatric Dietitian Lyza Norton shares her years of experience with thousands of families navigating disordered eating. She gives us some insights into the different kinds of disordered diets, even “clean eating” or only eating healthy food can become an issue. She also lists some of the most common early signs and symptoms to watch out for and it may not be what you expect.
Dr Norton is also involved in the Nourish Nurture Notice program, Australia’s first ever online eating disorder prevention program for parents focused on early identification and intervention in disordered eating in young people.
The Nourish Nurture Notice program, which includes drop-in sessions and a special Masterclass, was developed by Eating Disorders Families Australia along with The Embrace Collective and is supported by the Queensland Government. It is specifically designed for parents and carers of school-aged children and adolescents.
