[quote=Anonymous]It's difficult to sort this out. While it's try that if she's hungry she will eat, someone who is filling up on M/M's, candy, fizzy drinks, etc. will not develop an appetite at mealtime. She will not eat regular meals at all but will simply graze all day long and may suffer from malnutrition. The hidden snacks in the room are a sign of this. I think you need to have some rules about when snacks are available and have some rules about what foods and meals are the cornerstone of the day. Simply saying she'll eat when she's hungry is not going to work for a child who snacks the day away. I think the entire family needs to change its eating habits. Eat whole foods, not crap.[/quote]
