[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with the disordered eating poster. I think you should discuss her eating challenges with a pediatrician and ask for a referral to a specialist.[/quote] I smell a pre-eating disorder too in this story, but something about the OP's tone-- "I will not let her wither away"--also smells to me like a major control battle is underway. Your DD does have a right to exert control over her life and choices of food are one way children express this control. Some anorexia research suggests that OCD pathology is closely connected. I am saying all of this to encourage OP to find ways that are not about power to address this problem. What if you saw a therapist together? Have someone neutral arbitrate essentially the discussion and help you come up with solutions. [/quote]
