[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you put a bunch of restrictions on food? I think that leads to this behavior.[/quote] Bingo. A kid sneaking food is is sign that they are being overly restricted. As the parent you need to work on your own food issues. Ellen satter is a good place to start. The best things you can do right now: 1. Make MORE treats available to your kid so the perceived scarcity doesn’t lead to binging 2. Make a policy to never ever comment on your kids eating choices or weight. Do the above to avoid inflicting damage as you work through your own stuff.[/quote]
