[quote=Anonymous]She doesn’t even have her period yet. Girls average two more inches in height AFTER they get their period. I wouldn’t do a thing other than make sure there is healthy food around the house and an occasional reminder to have some fruit, veg and protein.

At our house, I might say “why don’t you eat an apple with some peanut butter before the cake. That will help fill you up more if you are actually still hungry” or something like that. And she does both and there is no judgment. Or she might say “nope, I just want the cake” and there is still no judgment. And I occasionally check in on how much fruit/veg she had that day as she is thinking about dinner so she keeps that in mind. Yesterday, I happened to ask if she had eaten the cucumbers and raspberries that were in her lunch (which also included cheezeits and cookies). She remember that she had only eaten two raspberries and then the container fell on the floor. So I just suggested she eat a fruit along with dinner.[/quote]
