[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would strongly suggest you revisit the food rules of your house. Forbidden foods become sought-after foods. We don’t have food rules here and my ravenous teenager eats a pretty good range of foods, which includes junk food, fruits, vegetables, and lots of other things. Anyway, my suggestion is that there is no consequence. Maybe he has a stomach ache. Maybe he experiences no effect. The effect of binging a package of Oreos or Girl Scout cookies or…a bag of grapes is minimal, tbh. Focus on teaching life long skills and don’t make foods off limits. Also, if he’s sneaking video games, revisit those rules, too… A mental health counselor parent [/quote] Let me understand. You're suggesting that parents buy Oreos, Cheetos, and other kinds of junk food in order that these foods not become forbidden foods? And how would you revisit the rules around video games? Just let him play an unlimited amount? This sounds like non-parenting to me. [/quote]
