[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That's a great idea to get creative with sauces. Yes, I can't vilify starches or she'll want them even more. How much input do your kids have for the menu? If she's going through a juice phase should I let her drink it to her heart's content in hopes that she'll get tired of it? That seems risky. Bad habits are hard to break. [/quote] My 12 yr old goes through phases of guzzling orange juice or milk. I once bought a quart of milk and she drank the entire thing in about 30 hours. Her growth spurt phases generally last a little less than a week, I think. It takes me about 2 days to notice she's eating a lot more than usual, and at that point I'll stock up on healthy foods so she's got good options when she wanders into the kitchen. [/quote] 4 cups of milk on a day and a half (so more like 3 cups a day) is not guzzling. A cup with each meal? Totally appropriate.[/quote]
