Growth charts & goal weight made simple: eating disorder recovery

How a growth chart helps ESTIMATE a goal weight ('expected', 'target', 'ideal' or 'healthy' weight). It matters because there's no eating disorder recovery without full weight recovery. In 9 minutes I show you: 1. How to plot your child's data on a pediatric growth chart. 2. How to use it to for a rough estimate of a catch-up weight 3. How to add to that estimate, and why (growth spurts etc) 4. How a growth chart could mislead if you don't have good pre-restriction data 5. Caution if your child has been very light since toddler years 6. How natural growth for an individual child will deviate from those smoothed-out percentile curves -- so the chart is only ONE of your tools 7. How you want an individualised target weight, NOT a one-size-fits-all median BMI, or a 100% Weight-for-Height number. 8. What to do if you hardly have any weight/height data to plot 9. How in any case many clinicians don't focus on any goal weight, and why. 10. Recommendation for a 'wait and see' approach: focus on the work and on your child's physical and mental state, not on a weight goal ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MORE HELP FOR PARENTS: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- my book "Anorexia and other eating disorders - How to help your child eat well and be well" is recommended by clinicians worldwide https://anorexiafamily.com/order my Bitesize audios: an vast searchable library of searchable tips (e.g. how to talk to your child about weight) https://anorexiafamily.com/bitesize-p... -my website has lots to get you started https://anorexiafamily.com and I do online workshops for parents: https://anorexiafamily.com/workshops-...
