Why Can’t My Child Stop Eating
A Guide to Helping Your Child Overcome Emotional Eating
Author: Debbie Danowski, PhD
🍽️ About the Book
Childhood obesity is one of today’s most urgent and misunderstood health crises — but it’s not just about food. In Why Can’t My Child Stop Eating?, Dr. Debbie Danowski, a food addiction expert and professor, offers compassionate, practical guidance for parents who want to help their children overcome emotional eating and build a healthy relationship with food and themselves.
Drawing from her own powerful story of recovery — having lost more than half her body weight and maintained it for over 30 years — Dr. Danowski explores how emotions, family dynamics, and self-esteem all shape a child’s eating habits. She helps parents identify the real causes behind compulsive eating, such as anxiety, loneliness, or trauma, and provides step-by-step strategies to heal both body and mind.
This groundbreaking guide empowers families to move away from guilt, shame, and diet culture, and instead focus on emotional connection, mindful nourishment, and self-worth.
💡 What You’ll Learn
- The emotional roots of overeating: Understand why children use food to cope with feelings like sadness, fear, and boredom.
- How to create a healing environment: Build open communication and reduce shame and secrecy around food.
- Practical strategies for parents: Tools, activities, and daily routines that help children identify emotions, express needs, and develop self-regulation.
- Breaking the cycle: Learn how to model healthy eating and body image for your children while healing your own relationship with food.
- Recovery without restriction: Replace the idea of “dieting” with emotional awareness and balanced nourishment.
