[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 11 yo is a skinny active-ish (since the pandemic) boy, and has had free reign of the kitchen since he could reach what he wanted. I can't imagine him asking permission for snacks now or even for the past few years! He often chooses fruit or salty snacks, but also sodas and sweets and chips. Sounds like that would NOT fly in your house, but I really think you need to find a way to let your kids eat when they are hungry and choose what they want to eat. Tweens need some independence with this, because their nutritional needs are different than ours and vary from week to week. Girls, especially, need to not have their food intake and type monitored. If you are concerned about what they eat, control what you buy and model good behavior, but the 9 and 11 yo need to get their own snacks![/quote] Mine too. He needs any calories he can get and we have basically no rules about it. I can't even really relate to the need for rules on this.[/quote]
