Eating Disorder Parent Communication Guide: What Would You Say? Worksheets
$2.00
A two-page caregiver communication practice resource. It walks parents and caregivers through eight common things a teen might say, how those words might land, and how to respond in ways that protect connection. The examples are prompts to practise with, not perfect scripts.
WHAT'S INSIDE:
Page 1: What Would You Say? Four common teen statements ("I'm fine. Everyone is overreacting.", "Talking about it only makes things worse.", "You have already decided what is wrong with me." and "If I tell you anything, you will take over."), each with My First Instinct, What They Might Hear, Protect Connection and Ask With Curiosity prompts, plus a Keep in Mind note and space for words that feel natural for your family
Page 2: What Would You Say? Four more statements ("It's my life. You can't make this decision for me.", "If I'm honest, you'll tell everyone.", "Nothing has helped before. Why would this be different?" and "I'm tired of having to explain myself."), a Slow the Moment Down note and space for one response to practise
PERFECT FOR:
Parents and caregivers, and the therapists and practitioners who support them.
