Understanding Disordered Eating in Children and Adolescents

Welcome to Being a Parent is Hard!  Pediatrician Dr. Maggie Chalson joins us in this episode to discuss disordered eating in children and teenagers.  Problems such as a distorted body image, feelings of self-hate related to one’s appearance, restricting food intake, overeating, and full-blown eating disorders all plague today’s children and adolescents.  Social media and many parents’ preoccupation with their own weight and appearance all serve to stress and pressure our kids.  Dr. Chalson shares stories from her pediatric practice and offers valuable insights and strategies to identify, understand and address disordered eating. Please join us! We can be found on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Overcast.
