Substance abuse problems may begin before or during an eating disorder, or even after recovery. Those struggling with co-occurring substance use and disordered eating should speak with a trained professional who can understand, diagnose, and treat both substance use disorders and eating disorders.
Up to 50% of individuals with eating disorders abused alcohol or illicit drugs, a rate five times higher than the general population. Up to 35% of individuals who abused or were dependent on alcohol or other drugs have also had eating disorders, a rate 11 times greater than the general population.
The substances most frequently abused by individuals with eating disorders or with sub-clinical symptoms include: alcohol, laxatives, emetics, diuretics, amphetamines, heroin, and cocaine.
Eating disorders and substance abuse share a number of common risk factors, including brain chemistry, family history, low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, and social pressures. Other shared characteristics include compulsive behavior, social isolation, and risk for suicide.
As with eating disorders, early intervention of substance use is essential.
THINGS TO CONSIDER WHEN SEEKING PROFESSIONAL INTERVENTION
Find an eating disorder specialist that can also address substance abuse/dependence.
Research levels of care and treatment providers to determine a plan that fits your specific needs.
Most eating disorder treatment facilities are equipped to deal with patients who abuse over-the-counter diet pills, laxatives, emetics and diuretics, but not all are able to accommodate the patient that requires medical detoxification.
Educate yourself, be proactive, and know that both these disorders are treatable.

cognitive development
Explanation:
In the theory of cognitive development as developed by Jean Piaget, it suggests that children move through four different stages of mental development. In His theory the focus is not only on understanding how children acquire knowledge, but also on understanding the nature of intelligence.
Piaget's stages are:
Sensorimotor stage: From birth to 2 years.
Preoperational stage: From ages 2 to 7.
Concrete operational stage: From ages 7 to 11
Formal operational stage: From ages 12 and above
I'm assuming this is a true of false question. If so then the answer is true. Parents need to know how to communicate effectively with their children and two ways of doing this would be through reflective listening which is more than just listening to your kids it involves actually paying attention to what they are saying, the good and bad things, and also by scheduling one on one time making sure that your children know they are important and can talk to you.
