For parents...

It is not easy to be a parent in present times, and even harder it is to be a parent of ED suffer. We know that parents and family members play very important role in recovery process.

Iceberg is a self-help website and self – help means, people are learning from one another to help themselves.
The more parents help themselves – the more their loved one progresses in recovery process.

I would like to invite parents and other family members to share how they can help to one another.
It does not help to any sufferer to repeat to themselves “This is so hard…”
It definitely does not help to any parent to see recovery process this way …
The opposite is the solution…
So, let’s start now to share the little tips and learn to enjoy our parenthood.

Let’s start with affirmation…
“I am the best parent my child needs at this moment …”
Write it down and make it happen. Repeat at least 200 times – and share on this forum your observation and progress of learning to enjoy parenting…
And remember – to repeat - not to doubt or to analyse…

Looking forward hearing from you
Marie
