[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would NOT tell him you're trying to make your belly smaller, or that you are doing it to eat healthier ( you don't want him to think you need to measure his food in order to be healthy). I would say "I'm just trying to get the exact right amount of food for my body. So, I'm experimenting." If he asks why you're not measuring his food, tell him kids don't have to measure their food. I have a 6yo son, and he would totally accept these answers :).

I have an old kitchen scale that ds plays with. Let your kid play with the scale, weigh his own food. Or, weigh canned good towers, experiment with weighing liquids, whatever. [/quote]

This is a really good idea, treating it as an experiment.  Kids that age are naturally curious so get your son involved in weighing lots of things, not just food.  What do you think weighs more, a cup of this or a cup of that?  Let's see how much this thing weighs.  What do you think 8 ounces of this would look like.  Etc.[/quote]
