[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]It’s not normal parenting when it’s incessant[/b]. I think the better policy is to usually not have sugary things around and change the environment. I also think the comments land differently when a person is overweight. Given that my husband has been making these comments incessantly for quite some time, I think that if they had been effective we would know that by now. Instead, my kid is overweight.[/quote] Seriously? Yes, parenting is incessant, repeated. Good parenting is persistent, more persistent than the child. You don't tell a young child to look before crossing the street once, you tell them 9000 times. And more after that. Why should this be different? It won't be effective the first time, or the second time, or the third time. They'll need to hear it 9000 times. And then more after that. [/quote]
