[quote=Anonymous]My 10 year old has always whined about walks and exercise too. He's been 95 and 97th percentile for height and weight. He isn't overweight though. He gained a little during the shutdown but is back to his normal again. He does not do much exercise. I put out lots of fruit and veggies, but I let both my kids self regulate. At school they have to eat at set times, but at home, other than dinner, I let them eat or not eat when they're hungry. So they might eat a lot or not eat at all until 2pm. Is she okay? Does she have stress or bad experiences from you guys or other people in her life ? At this point I would swap her favorites for healthier versions. Buy annies cheddar bunnies instead of goldfish. Once she's no longer hooked on all the additive crap in the typical food, her cravings may lessen on their own, and she will start to want healthier food. Serve the fruits in veggies in fun and visually appealing ways.[/quote]
