[quote=Anonymous]OP I have concerns about my 9yo at times too. She is 55 inches and 102lbs but is super solid and always has been. She is not sneaking food though, this would concern me. She had a small desert with her packed lunch and a regular size dessert after dinner assuming she ate a good dinner. I do allow junky snacks in moderation like Pringle’s are her new favorite snack. But other times she says she’s hungry I try and get her to eat something filling but healthy. Like, she does like berries but a bowl of blueberries won’t fill you up if you are legit hungry. A banana with some peanut butter on it will though. She will frequently have a banana or apple with PB before bed ( we eat dinner early) we do allow desserts but dessert are not snacks. I would try to focus more on being healthy while allowing a set amount of treats /desserts as well so there’s no hiding wrappers. [/quote]
