In this episode, MEEDA VP Carine El Khazen chats about the role of parents in eating disorders prevention and treatment with Journalist, radio host and “Honest motherhood” blogger Helen Farmer.
Together they discuss the impact of Covid on children and on parenting, how to spot and diagnose eating disorder behaviours in children and teens, the dangers of dieting and social comparison, what parents can do to prevent eating disorders, how to talk to a child that exhibits red flags for an ED and what parents of children with an eating disorder can do to stay calm and support their children in recovery.
