    Introduction

    A friend of mine asked me why I wanted to write a book on how parents could manage the eating disorders in teenage concerns and the different teenager health concerns, especially when a child stops eating.

    She wanted to know whether I was speaking from real life, and experiences which I had seen in my own family, and I told her that I was lucky that anorexia and bulimia never were thought of, in matters of eating, especially when the teenagers knew that the family members were all hearty eaters, and eating disorders was something up with which the elders would not put, physically, mentally, and even psychologically!

    But then you are going to be surprised to know that 3% of the parents, especially in European countries, – France predominant - where everybody is very particular about the latest
    psychological trend of body image, their children suffer from bulimia and anorexia. Princess Di suffered from it, because subconsciously she had reached a stage of what is the use of my being a princess, when my husband could not care less about me. You may not believe it, but this is the reason why a large number of women out there subconsciously have a death wish, just because they have lost someone near and dear, emotionally, physically, and even spiritually.

    That is why a number of parents may not believe it or not, but more than 2% of adolescents suffer from some sort of eating disorder, which is called anorexia or bulimia. So as a concerned parent, how are you going to manage a child not eating at all, a child deciding that he does not want to eat anything, a child who has stopped eating a healthy, nourishing diet or any other factor, which prevents a growing child from eating a healthy diet and growing up into an physically, mentally and emotionally strong adult who is healthy, strong, fit, and has no eating disorders at all.

    But you are going to say, hey, what is this, I can understand a child suffering physically. If he is starving himself, but what has “mentally and emotionally” to do with a child’s health, especially when he is not eating properly?

      Introduction

      A friend of mine asked me why I wanted to write a book on how parents could manage the eating disorders in teenage concerns and the different teenager health concerns, especially when a child stops eating.

      She wanted to know whether I was speaking from real life, and experiences which I had seen in my own family, and I told her that I was lucky that anorexia and bulimia never were thought of, in matters of eating, especially when the teenagers knew that the family members were all hearty eaters, and eating disorders was something up with which the elders would not put, physically, mentally, and even psychologically!

So as a concerned parent, how are you going to manage a child not eating at all, a child deciding that he does not want to eat anything, a child who has stopped eating a healthy, nourishing diet or any other factor, which prevents a growing child from eating a healthy diet and growing up into an physically, mentally and emotionally strong adult who is healthy, strong, fit, and has no eating disorders at all.

      You may not believe it, but any sort of eating disorder is definitely a cry for help. A large number of girls especially in the age group of 11 to 14 suffer from eating disorders, and psychologists say that they belong to a single-parent family, with the mother raising her children, or there is a father figure somewhere out there, but he is so busy in his office, and he has left the bringing up of the children to his female parent counterpart, that he is not a major part of bringing up his children.

      Subconsciously, as the child begins to grow up, especially when she grows up quite beautiful, as a teenager, it is natural that the mother is going to resent her. Believe it or not, a mother is not going to admit this fact, but she is definitely not going to like any sort of competition with another female for the attention of all the males around her.

      This is natural, throughout the world, and has been so in the natural order of things. However, in France, where the focus on female beauty, and charm has been a part of social life, for millenniums, there is going to be a subconscious competition between mother and
