[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My read is that the kid laments her "fat body" and OP focuses on losing weight, which reinforces her feeling that she is, in fact, fat and ugly.  And OP restricts carbs, won't let her bake, and frames eating a bagel after school as "sneaking." I think that's totally the wrong approach, especially for a kid entering puberty.  [b]Find some non-sport activities [/b]that she's interested in. Art is great.  [b]My 12yo loved tap dance[/b].  Go hiking as a family and get some fresh air.  If she likes baking, have her make healthier snacks, and [b]have her help plan and cook meals that she likes[/b]. Cutting down on screen time is good, but otherwise, you need to reframe your approach here.[/quote]

Lol, tell us you never parented a neuroatypical kid without telling us you never parented a neurotypical kid.

Op, get the testing updated on her and get professional help with the Dx and Rx.
Right now you are sandwiched between a husband and tween with the same symptoms. Find a support group as well.[/quote]

+1. Defiant disorder is no joke either. [/quote]
