Summary
Is your daughter struggling with an eating disorder? How can you be sure? Do you remember the last time she ate a meal rather than moving food around the plate? How often does she finish a meal in its entirety? Can you be sure she's alright? I can help you.
This book is dedicated to helping parents understand an eating disorder called Anorexia Nervosa. I am writing based on my experience with the disease. Too many parents go through the motions of work, home, small talk and repeat with their daughters. This book can help identify the patterns and pitfalls of anorexia in your daughter.
Twenty years ago, I was caught in the grips of Anorexia Nervosa. The disorder made me feel as though I was cutting myself on the inside. I stood at 5 foot 2 inches, weighed 92 pounds, and wore a size zero in jeans. I will relate to you the ways I beat this eating disorder and how you can help your daughter do the same.
It is important to understand, this disease is not attention seeking, but instead a reaction to overattentive environments. If you listen through this book, you will find tips and guides to understand your daughter's struggle. This guide serves to help navigate the tightrope of a highly delicate topic with your daughter.
Today we find ourselves interacting more through mass media and phone applications than on an individual level. It would be nice to be able to sit down and have a sincere talk about our feelings, relationships, and stressors. Instead, daily, most girls in your daughter's immediate circle are fighting for "likes" and approval of their surrounding groups.
Can you honestly say your daughter looks happy? Just generally. Are you noticing her eating habits too much or too little? Do you discuss her or interact with her at the dinner table? There is a clear difference. I can show you the way forward.

A beautiful guide to better support your child
Not having the knowledge to support your teen while she is struggling with an eating disorder can make us feel completely powerless. Naturally, we want to help and be there to do everything in our power to help our child overcome this challenging time. This listen provides all of this: support, information, and guidance. It is full of wise tips, coming from someone who has been through it personally. Overall, this book holds an abundance of wisdom and life-changing ways to tackle this disorder and to be there for the ones we love, whether it be our child, friend, or family member.

Uplifting and empowering
As parents it is our responsibility to care for our children's physical and mental health, to stay vigilant, to guide them, observe and openly communicate with them about how they are feeling. In today's society the pressure to conform to a specific shape and body size is as high as it's ever been, specially for girls. They are constantly bombarded by social media messages that are less than realistic. In this wonderful guide Shannon Michelle shows parents ways to better understand and spot eating disorders, tips to openly communicate with your daughter and implementing new family routines that will support your daughter in recovering from anorexia nervosa. Fantastic resource.

How to understand each other!
This content really got me as we are going through the same situation with my daughter.
The content is just amazing, it can be a lifesaver, life-changer if we follow the tips and accept our mistakes too. It is difficult to accept that our kids can pick up bad habits and then become sick because of us. They build a wall around themselves and not going to trust anyone even the parents which happened in our case too. Thanks to some therapy we did manage to break those walls and communicate the issues properly.
This book will show you how to understand this disease and how to get your children to communicate with us again which is Really really important! Definitely recommended content to those parents who are in this situation with their kids!

Helpful guide for parents of kid's with anorexia
"Parent's Guide: Cutting Yourself on the Inside" is an informative and helpful resource for parents who suspect their daughters might be suffering from anorexia nervosa. The author, Shannon Michelle, provides practical advice on how to identify the early signs of the disorder and how to help your child overcome it.
The book covers various topics related to anorexia nervosa, including its causes, symptoms, and treatment options. The author explains how to have a constructive conversation with your child about the disorder and how to find professional help if needed.
One of the most valuable aspects of this book is the author's emphasis on self-care for parents. Shannon Michelle acknowledges the significant emotional toll that anorexia nervosa can take on parents and provides tips for how to prioritize your own mental health while supporting your child.
Overall, "Parent's Guide: Cutting Yourself on the Inside" is an excellent resource for parents who are navigating their child's journey with anorexia nervosa. The audiobook version is well-narrated and easy to follow. I highly recommend this book to any parent who wants to better understand anorexia nervosa and support their child through recovery.

Huge Help For Parents!
My daughter is too young for me to have to worry about this just yet, but I am trying to be aware of what she might face. This book is perfect for parents to understand if their daughter is suffering from Anorexia, and how to recognize it because most likely she is not going to just tell you. I love how the author focuses so much on correct communication with your daughter, I believe that would make all the difference.

A Great Guide Not Only For Parents But For All!
This is a great guide that not only explains the technological aspect of issues pertaining to eating disorders but also provides valued guidance on how to address people going through things like this. This definitely would have been helpful in grade school when I encountered so many friends going through something like this. I am grateful that I come across this information in order to help others in the future.
