[quote=Anonymous]OP, she seems overly motivated by food (I have the opposite problem, a skinny kid who forgets to eat). She's either not eating enough, wants the forbidden, or may be diabetic or have another disorder. You should figure out the cause, even if it probably won't be easy. Then, recognize she is behaving in a developmentally appropriate way. She is going for what she wants, and she's being quite smart about it. If she was sneaking sugar at 2 years old, I give her big props for intelligence! Have you spoken to her doctor about it? My biggest piece of advice is not to scold or punish her. What good is that doing? She already knows you don't want her to eat sugar? She seems to not be able to help herself. It doesn't mean she is a bad kid. It also doesn't mean you are doing anything wrong per se. But this is an issue you will have to work out, and there may not be a quick fix. [/quote]
