[quote=Anonymous]The tough part is the line between hunger and feeling full.  Your stomach shouldn't be growling with hunger and you shouldn't feel that bloated feeling full.  In our house, we serve a normal amount of food with no discussion about how much is being eaten. If DC say they are hungry after eating a lot, I'll stall them for about 5 min before I ask them again if they are hungry.  9 times out of 10 they usually say they are actually not hungry anymore.

It is important to learn to read your body as overrating occurs when your brain still thinks you're hungry because your stomach hadn't sent the signal yet that it's full. Of course over eating can lead to obesity.  However, intentionally making sure your kid is hungry can cause other eating issues.

It's easier when kids are a little bit older and can understand it better.  I swear my toddler would eat certain foods until he'd puke from eating too much. So in those cases, I kind if had to make the cut off decision for him. [/quote]
