I want to share these videos (links in the comments) about Selective Eating Disorder (now also known as ARFID - Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder). This is what my Luci has. Many people do not understand. If I wasnt living with someone who has it and if I wasnt seeing it with my own eyes, I would probably find it hard to believe too, but it is real. I want to spread awareness about it because Luci is getting into more social situations at school now and already she has been asked by her peers about her food. It saddens me that she will live a life where she will feel uncomfortable around social situations that involve food. It saddens me that I know she will be judged and looked at as a picky eater or as though shes being rude. But this is her reality. And Id love for others to know that this exists. Talk to your kids about it. Talk to your kids about not judging, bullying, picking on, or making fun of their peers. Teach them about diversity and compassion. Teach them about accepting others with their quirks and all. As for us, we are teaching our kids to do the same, in addition to being emotionally and mentally strong and feeling capable of standing on their own two feet and standing up for themselves.
