My Kid is Back by June Alexander and Professor Daniel Le Grange
My Kid is Back shares the real-life experiences of ten families navigating the challenges of anorexia nervosa. Parents open up about their struggles to find effective treatment and manage their child’s behaviours, while young people describe how the illness takes hold of their thoughts and identity.
This essential resource highlights the Maudsley family-based treatment approach, widely recognised as one of the most effective methods for treating anorexia in children and adolescents. With expert insights from Professor Daniel Le Grange, the book provides:
- Clear lists of anorexia symptoms to help parents recognise warning signs.
- Practical strategies for carers to support recovery at home.
- Guidance on accessing professional treatment and ongoing support.
Written with compassion and practical advice, My Kid is Back empowers families to take an active role in their child’s recovery journey and offers hope that lasting change is possible.
Perfect for parents, carers, and professionals, this book is an invaluable guide for anyone supporting a young person with anorexia.
