KATHRYN HANSEN
About this episode

If you’re a parent who has put your eating disorder behind you, or you are trying to recover, or you are still struggling, and you want to make sure your child never has these issues, this episode is for you. I talk with parent coach Oona Hanson about how to help kids build a healthy relationship with food and body. We cover how to spot early signs of restriction, how to talk about these topics without creating shame, and how to help your child learn skills that support a lifetime of peace with food. Oona brings clear, compassionate, and practice guidance to a challenging topic.
