[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What happens if she gets 3 or 4 hours of exercise in a day? Does she eat then? Maybe try going on long hikes or bike rides every weekend to see if that stimulates her appetite. [/quote] You are so naive. This child has ADHD and actually so does my child with ARFID. This child will swim and run and climb all day long. Literally all day. It doesn’t change the fact that they have a deep seated fear, essentially a phobia, for many foods that is rooted in primal feelings of disgust. You simply can’t motivate that out of a child. I remember one book I read equating it to being offered $1000 to eat a bowl of vomit. You just can’t do it. It takes SO much time and tiny tiny baby steps over and over to make progress. Eventually many kids will make progress but it’s the hardest thing I’ve dealt with in my parenting journey so far.[/quote]
