[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]he's borderline obese and is under dr's order to lose weight. yes you read it right, to lose, not just maintain, weight. it's like if after numerous warnings your son still went to the skate park without a helmet wouldn't you be frustrated too? [/quote] Because those things are not the same. You can take away the skateboard if your child doesn't wear their helmet. But you can't take away food. You have set up a power struggle with a 10 year old, for God's sake. There isn't a boy on the planet who is going to nibble on salad at sleep away camp while his bunkmates gorge on ice cream. So you need to find a better and more realistic approach because YOU are setting HIM up for failure and then punishing him for it.[/quote]
