Most families wait too long to seek support with eating concerns.

One of the most common things I hear from parents is:

"I wish we had come sooner."

Not because they missed something.

But because eating difficulties rarely resolve with time alone.

What might begin as:

Increasing food refusal; shrinking safe foods; anxiety at mealtimes; rigid food rules; slow weight changes; body worries, can quietly become more entrenched.

Here is what I want parents to know:

Seeking support early is not an overreaction.

It is protective.

You do not need to wait until things look “serious enough.”

If your gut is telling you something has shifted — it is always worth exploring.

Gentle, specialised guidance early can change the entire trajectory for a young person.

And just as importantly…

It can bring enormous relief to families.
