Please help 11yo not eating

[Numblybumbly]

Was told to post this here…

i have have an 11 yo who is very very picky with their food and always has been. I hail from a long line of eating disordered family members and am now panicking.
She had her first period a couple of months ago and it’s since then she’s not eating properly and hasn’t had a period since. Now starting to worry but don’t want to make a big scene out of it in case she feels pressured. Any advice greatly appreciated!

You need to fill in some of the details. What does not eating properly actually mean? What is she eating? What does she say? Is she upset or sad? Whst does her picky eating actually entail?

Take her to the GP, you need baseline height, weight and physical obs. Try to do a food diary so you can get an idea of roughly how many calories she’s having, and brace yourself for the long haul. There’s a thread for parents of children with an eating disorder if you want to come onboard. Sending hugs x
