[quote=Anonymous]It’s a control thing. Pancakes are not a treat and describing them that way or keeping count of how many days your kids have dessert tells me you don’t have as laid back relationship with food as you think you do. 11 is an age where her body is changing and social stuff can get challenging. She needs more autonomy and control to make her own decisions- and you need to give her some grace with her changing body since many girls gain weight right before they get their period and have their last big growth spurt - that was age 11 for me, spring of 5th and summer before 6th. Find a way to be there for her emotionally while giving her more freedom and dropping control of food. Tread lightly, this is also an common age when eating disorders start. [/quote]
