There is no better feeling than when your teen brings home straight A’s or receives accolades for being a top student, volunteer, or athlete. Every parent wants their children to be successful, and when your teen is making great strides in this direction, it can be easy to feel like everything is going perfectly.

If your teen has started to show a lack of interest in food, reduce the amount of food they are eating, or make fear-based food choices, they may be suffering from avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID).
