[quote=Anonymous]Without knowing how he's eating and exercising at home it's impossible for us to give useful advice, and as many PPs have mentioned, at his well child visits you should be discussing weight and overall health with his pediatrician. that said, I've always though the Sesame Street "sometimes food/ any time food" model is really really good for kids - heck, for everyone. So fruits and veggies are any time food. He can have as much of them as he wants. If he's hungry and wants seconds, he can eat all the string beans and apples he can handle. French fries, and even other "healthier" carbs and protiens, are sometimes food. Appropriate, healthy choices, but not to eat a never-ending supply. If he's not hungry enough for apples, he's not hungry enough for french fries.[/quote]
