Nutrition for Children

Children struggling with body and food issues can be very sensitive to comments about their own food and weight. Although nutrition for children is an important topic to tackle we also want to be sensitive to the potential damage that can come from inappropriate addressing of a child’s weight and food behaviors. Family involvement in treatment is crucial to tackling a child’s weight while being respectful to the child as an individual. Often times the family’s own eating history and role models can contribute to struggles with eating for children at home. This does not mean parents or families are to blame! Far from it actually, we are all just learning with the tools we have been provided with and at Lotus Therapy Group we know that not everyone has been offered the same tools. We hope to assist in a loving and compassionate way to both child and family to remedy any existing or budding food and weight issues.
