This Masterclass is for parents and caregivers who are worried about the way their pre-teens and teens are eating. Disordered eating and body image concerns are becoming more and more common in this age group and the problems that come as a result of this can come in many forms and vary in severity.
From restricting food to binge eating, hiding food and compensatory behaviours like excessive exercise, vomiting and laxative abuse, we know this is a really hard thing to manage as a parent or caregiver.
Whether you are concerned about this being an issue in the future for your teen, starting to see warning signs or trying to manage disordered eating that has already set in, this Masterclass will help you.

Disordered eating sits on a spectrum between normal eating and an eating disorder and may include symptoms and behaviours of eating disorders, but at a lesser frequency or lower level of severity. Disordered eating may include restrictive eating, compulsive eating, or irregular or inflexible eating patterns. Dieting is one of the most common forms of disordered eating.
Other behaviours that may be present in a person engaging in disordered eating include:
Fasting
Binge eating
Skipping meals
Avoiding a type of food or food group
Self-induced vomiting
Laxative, diuretic, enema misuse
Steroid and creatine use
Using diet pills
