When your 3-year old child does not want to eat vegetables, it might probably be a just a phase and they might as well become a vegetarian when they grow up. On the other hand, if your teenager is having a distorted self-image and issues about their deit and the body weight, it may be an alarming sign of developing an eating disorder. If you notice disturbing changes in your child’s behaviour regarding eating habits, it might truly be the time for getting medical help for them. What can you do to help your adolescent child successfully treat an eating disorder and get back in line with the healthy diet? We are going to discuss that question here, so if you are struggling with the similar situation, please read on and learn the possibilities you have. Awareness about the problem Eating disorders are psychological disorders and every one of them has specific symptoms, but even if the symptoms don’t fit the standard classifications, it doesn’t mean that the diagnosis is not present. Most common eating disorders include: - Anorexia nervosa, or simply anorexia — an eating disorder characterized by the obsessive control over body weight followed by a twisted perception of the body shape. The physical signs and symptoms are related to starvation, and there is usually an intense control over calorie intake by vomiting after eating or by misusing laxatives, diet aids, or diuretics. - Bulimia nervosa, or simply bulimia – an eating disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of eating an abnormally large amount of food in a short period of time (binge eating), followed by self-induced vomiting, misuse of laxatives, diuretics, and other medications, water fasting, or excessive exercise. Bulimia is frequently associated with other mental disorders such as depression or anxiety. - Binge eating disorder (BED) – an eating disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of eating large quantities of food very quickly and to the point of discomfort, followed by a loss of control during the binge and the feelings of shame, distress, self-disgust, or guilt afterward. Purging or vomiting are not used regularly. Eating disorder statistics According to statistics of the National Eating Disorder Association , almost 30 million people suffer from a certain type of a disorder only in the U.S. That number is much higher on a global scale, and there are also many unregistered cases everywhere in the world due to embarrassment, denial, or the lack of knowledge. Some of the eating disorder statistics referenced on the Mirror Mirror organization’s website show that: - About 1% of female adolescents have anorexia - The onset of anorexia nervosa is most commonly around the same time as puberty - Binge eating disorder was found to usually start during late adolescence or in the early twenties - Only one in ten sufferers will seek treatment - Multifaceted treatment is needed in order to gain success - it should include nutritional counseling, medical care, and mental health care - In 80% of cases that are detected early and treated effectively, anorexia is 100% curable. Getting professional help four your teenager If your teenager is having an eating disorder and you are not sure how could you help them to step forward for a diagnosis and start getting a proper medical treatment, here are some pieces of advice you might want to follow: - Talk to your kids about the problem, let them know that you have noticed the dietary changes, and make sure they understand you want to help - Encourage your child to express their thoughts and emotions openly. However hard it may be for you, try not to be judgmental - Anchor text: - Try to find the best psychology clinics in the world that are specialized for treating eating disorders, in order to provide the best possible treatment for your child - Mind that your teenager is extremely vulnerable about the issues related to the disorder and give your best to go through every step of the psychological therapy and medical treatments together with them. Once your adolescent gets to be cured of an eating disorder, keep on being understanding and open for a conversation with your kid. Give them the courage to stay aware about the significance of the continuous mental health care.

When all else has failed, separation presents itself as the next logical step in a troubled marriage. A couple may be separated while waiting to be granted divorce from a court, or it can just be a way of giving each other space and time to decide on the next course of action. Marriages generally go wrong because communication changes and deteriorates (that’s what “growing apart” essentially is) and it doesn’t get easier during the separation process either. Especially not then. The biggest danger during this process is a lack of guidelines and rules that have been set precisely and mutually agreed upon by both partners. Additionally, this is a time when self-awareness is extremely important and you don’t want to bring more chaos and misunderstanding than there already is. Here are some rules of communication that will prevent things from getting worse and help build trust during the separation. Set boundaries Setting precise boundaries is crucial to avoiding misunderstandings and frustration. It’s a painful talk to have, but it has to be done honestly and without resentment, and it may even end up being relieving. Listen to your partner and tell them what you feel comfortable with. How often would it be okay for both of you to see each other? Will you be calling just to check up on each other sometimes, if yes, how often? If you haven’t decided on divorce, how much time specifically are you giving yourself before coming to a decision ? What is a fair distribution of financial obligations, etc…? It’s important to communicate openly and be considerate of both yours and your partner’s feelings in this situation. Be prepared, because one partner always wants more interaction than the other, so you’ll need to put in some effort to compromise (even though you might be really tired of that word). If you have children, setting boundaries becomes even more important, because you have to find solutions that are fair and beneficial to them. Don’t provoke and don’t let yourself be provoked The biggest problem during separation is that much too often, at least one partner tries to provoke fights whenever possible, and sometimes both do it, making the process unbearable. This is done in a number of ways, with passive-aggressive remarks, bringing up past feuds and trying to hurt the other person’s feelings through insults or actions. Be mindful of your behaviour and know how to recognize this impulse in your head, because provoking fights definitely won’t make you feel any better. When your partner is the one attempting to do this, take a step back and collect your thoughts so the situation doesn’t escalate. Engaging in toxic, snappy dialogue leads to absolutely nowhere but emotional pain for both sides. Stay calm Avoid communicating at all when you’re upset, even if the reason is momentarily unrelated to your relationship. If you’ve had a bad day at work or you simply feel highly strung, it’s almost inevitable you’ll take it out on your partner. Encourage your partner to do the same when they’re in a similar situation. It’s best to talk about this type of behaviour beforehand in order to avoid that classic dialogue of “I won’t talk to you unless you calm down. – I am calmed down!” Nevertheless, if your partner starts acting out, take deep breaths and maintain a civil tone. It’s easier said than done, but it’s important to not let yourself get pulled into the whirlwind for mundane reasons. Get a mediator If you simply can’t come to a mutual agreement on a number of things despite all the effort, getting help from an unbiased third party is the only solution. In Sydney, mediators work in professional companies which offer a range of services such as child-inclusive practice and separation coaching. Don’t hesitate to look for professional help in order to keep your communication productive. It’s much better and cheaper than eventually having to communicate only through an attorney. Keep your families out of it Yes, the process is emotional and difficult to bear all by yourself, so you need someone close to listen to your troubles and give you advice. But in most cases, bringing your parents or siblings into it causes a hurricane of accusations, judgement, and eventually disdain from your partner. Family members are rarely objective enough and they’re likely to agree with you even when you may be wrong, placing all the blame on your partner. While this may seem tempting and comforting, it is in no way healthy for you and there’s a high probability they would only make matters worse for your already fragile communication. Sure, you can talk to them about how you feel and find consolation in their love and trust, but it’s better to refrain from details and the private conversations with your partner. Even with friends, be careful whom you talk to for advice. It’s best to talk to someone mature and trusted who has understanding and knows your partner well. And remember – there’s never only one side to a story. Your marriage might seem like a fiasco at the moment, but it helps a lot to stay grounded and have respect for the relationship you once had. This is what couples tend to forget during the turmoil of the process. Whether you’re getting divorced or only taking time off to decide, remember that you went through life together for a certain period of time and although separated, the process is something you’re sharing as well. This kind of approach greatly emphasizes the meaning and importance of honest, respectful communication.
