Recognising Eating Disorders Amid Lockdown ? A Course for Parents and Carers
What’s the deal with shipping?
We ship our subscription boxes on the first Wednesday of the month (this will apply for the very next month after you have ordered). One-off boxes are despatched under second class post throughout the UK, with P&P being charged as an addition.
Ask us about international deliveries.
What if I have an allergy?
We do our best to hand-pick our foodie items for the boxes, but we know that people are increasingly affected by intolerances and allergies.
We suggest if you are at all concerned about what may be in a forthcoming or a newly received box, you request details from us directly and we can give you reassurance from the supplier.
Are the boxes for boys and girls?
We have a male and female version of our ‘cute one’ box. We accept that some will feel there is a slight bias in femininity around our boxes – in part, a decision rooted in the fact that there are more females than males going through eating disorders – but, at any time we are happy to create a bespoke box with a special person in mind.
Which boxes are available for subscription?
Our cute one is the main subscription option at the point of launching Wednesday’s Child, but we are happy to send any size on a regular basis.
What if I’d like a bespoke box?
No problem whatsoever. Get in touch and let us know who we’re curating the box for – and when it must be received.
I make a great product. Can it feature in your box?
Certainly, we’d love to consider more suppliers and specialists who want to have their items in our box.
Drop a line to our founder Debbie, for a chat, and we’ll take it from there.
About this course
This brief course has been developed for parents/carers who are perhaps concerned their child may be struggling with a disordered relationship with food or suspect their child might be developing – or is at risk of developing – an eating disorder.
Lockdown
With another lockdown currently in force as the Covid pandemic continues to devastate lives and stretch NHS resources to the extreme, families may again be finding themselves spending more time together in close confines than they usually would. School, childcare and college closures make it likely that most children will be spending far more time at home than would normally be the case, and more parents will be working from home, juggling the demands of their jobs and home-schooling the children in their care. This can present a huge number and range of challenges, depending on the set-up at home and the relationships, dynamics, demands and routines of those living there.
Given that for many families this turbulent time is likely to involve additional anxiety, stress, uncertainty and – potentially – conflict, it is vital that we try to consider the physical and mental wellbeing of all those in our household, as well as making sure we look after ourselves properly.
