[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t condone OP’s approach, obviously, but I can understand her frustration at everyone saying their kids are skinny/light eaters and just fine when she’s already said her 5 year old is only 34 lbs (for reference, my 18 month old is 31 or so) and the ped is concerned.[/quote] 34 lbs is with the range of normal for a 4yo. The yelling is counterproductive, and probably part of the reason the child hasn't gained weight this year. I've got a skinny kid, and was a skinny/picky eater myself. Being frustrated/concerned is understandable, yelling at every meal is not. Op and her DH are on their way to creating a kid with an unhealthy relationship to food. This has to change. [/quote]
