[quote=Anonymous]My AFRID kid is a teenager and sees a therapist from The Eating Disorder Center. It is a slow road but a big part of it has been acknowledging that this is a disorder kid can't help, and that it isn't kid's fault or parent's fault. There's so much shame in ARFID because of all the judgement received by other parents and kids. Coaching the kid on how to handle this has been a big part of dealing with it. My kid is physically healthy (miraculously), which takes a little bit of stress off. What I've heard is that kids get motivated to expand their safe foods when they hit college because of desire to take part in social eating. I hope this is the case for my kid. Kid also has ADHD and had traumatizing choking experience as a five year old which seems to have been the inciting event. [/quote]
