[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You control what is in your home. But you have to let go of what is not. It gets much worse. Elementary school is a constant stream of snacks at play dates, soccer games, birthday parties, school parties, everything. It's fine to say "pick one treat only" when youre with him. But know that the days you will be with him are numbered. So just focus on what is in your own home.[/quote] I agree with this. Model healthy eating at home (and keep in mind that healthy eating can also include an indulgent sweet or savory snack in moderation). When you're at birthday parties and in other settings where junk food is the focus, don't be all weird about it. Let him have what he wants, and if he asks for it at home make it clear that those kinds of treats are--to quote Cookie Monster--"a sometimes food."[/quote]
