[quote=Anonymous]Limit the junk you buy. If it isn't there, she can't eat it. Tell her no lunch at school. It's fine to email the teacher too. Just make sure you're actually giving her a filling breakfast. Get her involved in meal and snack planning. Maybe she can find some recipes that incorporate fruit or veggies in a fun way. I don't like telling kids that foods make you fat. It's so much more complicated than that. We talk about serving sizes, what the different make up of food does and does to our bodies (calories, fat, protein, carbs, etc). We talk about why some food is better for us than others. If you can teach your kid why eating healthy is important instead of eat healthy so you don't gain weight, I think it is more beneficial long term. [/quote]
