Description

This short film offers parents and carers clear, compassionate guidance on recognising and responding to disordered eating in children. Drawing on clinical expertise, parents’ lived experience, and practical advice from Dr Sian Williams, it explores the emotional factors that often drive eating changes and provides supportive, realistic steps families can take. The focus is on understanding the child’s feelings, creating calm opportunities for conversation, and taking early, informed action to strengthen confidence, emotional regulation and recovery - rather than concentrating solely on eating behaviours.

Learning Objectives

1. Identify key differences between typical eating variations and disordered eating in children.

2. Explore the emotional drivers that influence eating behaviours and how to talk about them calmly and openly. 3. Apply practical approaches that strengthen emotional regulation, mealtime confidence and family wellbeing.
