[quote=Anonymous]And by the way, OP's kid is not even that underweight. Normal weight for 5 year old girls is between 36 and 44 lbs. My DD was a failure to thrive kid, she literary would have starved herself as a baby. So, I know full well what kid that refuses to eat acts and looks like. Nobody ever yelled at her to eat, nobody forced her to eat. She had medical care, she had medication, she had procedures... She is not picky at all teen, who just chowed down steak and broccoli, cauliflower and zucchini, loves Indian and Mexican food, loves fruits and most veggies. Not only that, my DS had constitutional growth delay, where he was below 1% in weight and height most of his life. Nobody yelled at him either. We had professional care as well there, he is now pretty tall, still slim, non picky eater. Almost 6 feet tall. I am under no illusion that OP, her DH and similar pps here would even entertain the idea that they are wrong, they are nuts, but still I posted all this hoping that if even one drop of what happened with my kids and our relaxed attitude worked, might cause them to pause and rethink even some part of their insane abusive behavior, then it is worth it, as these poor kids are not heard. Eating should be a positive nurturing experience, please stop what you are doing to your kids.[/quote]
