[quote=Anonymous]I think that emotional eaters have other issues that then need to be addressed.  I do agree with the author of the book "yes, your teen is crazy," that something more is going on with kids and parents.  Often parents are the cause of some unwanted behavior in their kids, as they set examples. I am not saying this is the case in OP's family. I am pp who posted about walking on egg shells around my overweight niece.  I have found out since that a lot was going on behind with parents, both mom and dad were separating and there was a whole dynamic of if husband isn't doing it, then I am not doing it with the kids, there was a lot of eye for eye behavior going on between her parents, mom blaming DH for being absent, while not seeing that she is saying things like "My DD is a disappointment in every way to me." My niece confiding in my DD that her mom doesn't love her, and she knows it.  There were times when my niece was alone for days at their other place, for days. So, what seemed like a kid just liking food was in fact much, much more, and I was also a poor excuse for an aunt for not realizing. I know there isn't much I can do, but I am so proud of my niece now, who got into college, while her mom and Dad were saying that she is too lazy to even submit the application and they aren't helping because she is "this and that and they don't care anymore."[/quote]
