    End the Food Fights with Your Child: Replace Control with Connection

    Parenting a child with an eating disorder is frightening, confusing, and exhausting. It leaves a parent feeling helpless, angry and too often filled with blame. In this show, Dr. Tom Wooldridge returns to Psych Up Live with his invaluable new book, End The Food Fight: Replacing Control with Connection to Help Your Child Heal from an Eating Disorder.

It is a book that offers parents new ways of responding to a child with an eating disorder that foster healing in conjunction with professional care received.  By giving parents tools, Dr. Wooldridge, invites them to understand that Eating Disorders are not made of behaviors alone.
