[quote=Anonymous]In defense of op, she may be over weight or maybe she was an overweight child and wants to do everything in her power to protect her son from that happening to him.  I get that.

Don't compare your children to op's child.  You don't know what is going on with him.  He may have a very slow metabolism.  He may not have the trigger to let his brain know that he is full. I have a family member who could eat adult portions as a preschooler.  She just never feels full.

Anyway,  my advice would be to take ds to the grocery store, and let him help you grocery shop.  Talk to him about nutrition.  Check out cooking sites to learn how to prepare healthy kid friendly food.  You can also involve him in the cooking process.  This can be something fun that you do together.

Op...your concerns are valid.  However, I do agree with pp's that it is a slippery slope.  Your behavior can either help your son or hurt him.  If you need help yourself, try contacting a nutritionist for ideas.

Good luck!
