Has anyone any experience of their 12 year old starting to over exercise? My daughter turns 12 soon. I have noticed that she has started leaving half of her food at meals saying she is not very hungry. She has also started running up and down our back garden and last night she asked when we can start going swimming again. My possible early signs of an eating disorder senses are up but I am not sure what to do next.
Can anyone share their experience and advise what I should do? I have seen anorexia get a hold of older teens and it is devastating for them and their families and frankly I am seeing my daughter could go down this path.It could just be a little phase as she becomes more aware of her body- puberty has well and truly started. Her weight is normal probably on the higher side of. anormal bmi I would say from looking at her.
