[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Read Your child's weight - helping without harming by Ellyn Satter. It will help you with tools to help your daughter learn how to listen to her body's cues without you controlling her diet (which as you said, will truly only cause harm in the end). h

ttps://www.amazon.com/Your-Childs-Weight-Helping-Without/dp/0967118913/ref=sr_1_3?crid=3QD0LQQ53JJLZ&keywords=your+childs+weight+helping+without+harming&qid=1582656605&sprefix=your+childs+weight+hel%2Caps%2C208&sr=8-3

But I always caution people to be very careful about a child seeing the book because the title makes it something that could make a child feel a lot of shame if they found their parent reading. I would just get it on kindle to make sure it's not lying around the house. The book actually ISN'T about weight, but the title would make a child think that.[/quote]

I'm annoyingly flagging my own comment again here - please read this op. Those posting here are not RDs, they are not trained in nutrition or how to actually develop a healthy relationship with food and be able to listen to your body.[/quote]

I’ll flag this also!! What people are describing is the opposite of intuitive eating. By putting out limited portions of food and telling her there isn’t more, she isn’t learning how to listen to her own hunger cues. You don’t want to have a quick fix here, you want her to learn healthy eating habits that will last her a lifetime.[/quote]

yes yes yes thank you! Mom has the right idea here and wants to help her learn these skills and I feel like (very well intentioned) commenters are going to throw her on a path that will not end how she hopes[/quote]
