This manual for parents is what is used for the parent support and skills program from the Duke Center for Eating Disorder developed by me, Nancy Zucker. This manual is intended to accomplish four basic goals. First, it gives parents tools to manage moment-to-moment difficulties that arise when they are trying to nourish a child with disordered eating. Second, it gives parents strategies to prevent burn-out and increase their social support. Third, it helps parents to model for their child the ability to listen to and adaptively respond to what their bodies are telling them (e.g., to their hunger or emotional needs). Fourth, it helps parents figure out how disordered eating symptoms may be helping their child to manage difficult situations and feelings. In turn, parents can then provide their children with healthy strategies that can replace these disordered eating symptoms and help their children to flourish.
