[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There have been some early flashes of behavior that concerned me, but I knew that DD loved to eat and always hoped that healthy desire to consume delicious foods would counter balance any stupid ideas she got in her head for a few days. I also know lots of girls 12-14 are really struggling with self-esteem, self-confidence, hormonal changes, social pressures, etc. All of a sudden, her behavior has taken a turn for the worse. Dad isn't concerned but I'm ready to send her to therapy before this kind of thinking and behavior gets engrained. ANY good recs for appropriate therapist/doctor/etc. in [b]downtown metro DC area[/b][u] would be greatly appreciated. Other parenting advice also appreciated. I have no idea how to handle/respond.[/quote]

I say this as a father with experience, do not mess around with this. DD had better wake up. there is one in the immediate DC area called Renfro i believe. Other than that Shepard Pratt in MD is considered excellent and Reflections in Falls Church. Do not go for convenient and close over quality.

Eating disorders are not about social pressure per se, they are very complicated and become almost like drug addiction very quickly. [/quote]
