Sarah was 9 and 11 when she saw the counsellor. She hasn't been yet this time and yes she is moody but it is hard to tell if it is puberty or the anorexia. She is tired all the time but has insomnia. In a space of minutes she can be angry, upset, happy, paranoid, etc. It's hard to work out how to talk to her sometimes.

Rosehip fairy - I'm sure she would tell you that she gets enough attention lol. We have talked about this and as far as she is concerned she reckons she has more than she wants lol. She is currently grounded for not coming home from school until 5pm. She didn't phone or txt me to let me know where she was and when she did turn up she was rude, so there went her birthday party and a big grounding. I asked her how long was I expected to wait until i called the police to report her missing. She looks older than 14 and we get some hoons around here from a neighbouring suburb. She has apologised but just to make a point we are letting the grounding stand.

I'm hoping that the next time we see the dietician that she has put on weight and we have turned the corner. If not then I will suggest that we go and see the counsellor again and see what she says
