[quote=Anonymous]I don't think it's a good idea to encourage children to eat until they're stuffed. It teaches them bad habits that will harm them later. Some people - one of my relatives included - literally never feel full - the man will eat seconds, clear all the rest of the family's plates, then have 2 helpings of dessert and then a couple handfuls of nuts after that. Plus tea. Plus two glasses of wine. It never ends. If DS is one of those people with an insatiable appetite, all the more reason to teach him what constitutes normal servings so he can develop those habits since they won't come naturally with the fullness cues most people have. I don't advocate putting him on a diet - just having him eat what his siblings eat. And no seconds. Seconds are always a bad idea and a recipe for overweight.[/quote]
