Webinar title: TREATING EATING DISORDERS IN YOUNG CHILDREN Speaker: Nicole Wavra MPH, RD, LD Date of Presentation: May 16, 2024 What made you decide to take this webinar? Selecting a topic or webinar proved to be somewhat difficult while searching for options. However, I chose this one because the stigma associated with eating disorders is particularly sensitive due to the guilt and shame that the sufferer experiences. Particularly concerning adults, yet the subject matter pertains specifically to young children, requiring a distinct approach in treatment. Considering that kids are very impressionable and influenced by a wide range of factors. Particularly when they are still growing or are too young to make many decisions. This topic therefore got me thinking about how to treat a younger patient and how I may still be compassionate toward them while still giving them the greatest care. Provide 2-3 main takeaways from the webinar. 1. Experts in disorder eating are the professionals treating the child with ED, and parents are the experts in their offspring. 2. Weight gain or loss is not the progress achievement of the children progress to their eating disorder getting better 3. There are always several approaches to support the parent and encourage the child as they both learn from and educate one another how to improve their circumstances.
Fall 2023 NSC 432/532 4. Children's needs must be met in accordance with their current state of health and what they are willing to learn to improve it, as pressuring a child to do anything would either make their situation worse or have a negative influence on their ability to recover in the future. What surprised you about the webinar you chose? To be quite honest, while I watched this webinar, I was surprised by a few things. First of all, I was taken aback by the variety of approaches one might take while treating a child, depending on what is required. particularly when a child's condition is willing to advance in collaboration with both the parent and the physician. In addition, I found it fascinating that the parents were encouraged to celebrate their child's accomplishments in addition to them. Because the parent may occasionally become frustrated or discouraged that the child may not be progressing very noticeably. However, any advancement must be pressed for, and it's critical to support the parent and child on their path. How might this information be useful in your area of professional practice/study? I would answer both yes and no when asked if the material is in any way relevant to my professional field of study. No, because I don't actually see many patients in physical therapy for eating problems. However, yes, since I may eventually come into a patient who has a mobility problem as a result of their eating disorder, and it is very essential to me to understand more about how I may best meet their needs. Furthermore, in my opinion, it's crucial to be able to act as a professional, encourage patients toward well-being, and accept parental support while dealing with young children and taking in mind their needs as well to be able to help wit their growth and development.
