Disordered Eating: Recognising the warning signs.
Changes in eating habits are a normal part of growing up, but sometimes they can signal something more concerning. Disordered eating can develop gradually, often beginning with behaviours such as skipping meals, avoiding certain foods or becoming increasingly focused on healthy eating, exercise or body image. When these behaviours become restrictive or distressing, they can affect a young person’s physical and emotional wellbeing.
Recognising the warning signs can be challenging, particularly as disordered eating can affect children of any age, gender or body size.
This Special Report provides practical guidance to help you recognise concerning behaviours, encourage positive relationships with food and body image, and understand when to seek professional support.
