RE: 26 MONTH OLD - EATING DISORDER
Sorry about all your difficulty. I also would highly recommend the Ellyn Satter books. She offers lots of very practical, research based advice. As the other poster said, her "mantra" about feeding is that the parent is responsible for the when and what of eating, and the child is responsible for the "how much and whether or not". This is very often easier said than done!
Good luck!
