[quote=Anonymous]I would probably not interfere at all in social situations and, as she goes through puberty, peer pressure/the desire not to stand out may help. However, at home, I don’t think anyone should be giving you the advice not to limit junk food/snacks and to allow self service seconds, thirds, etc. My son is a bit like you describe, but I also have an older daughter that is, if anything, prone to under eating, so it’s a fine line to walk. We allow one non-healthy snack for all of our kids & after that it’s fruit/vegetable/maybe healthy protein if the hunger is real. We serve seconds to keep them reasonably sized. After that, it’s fruit/vegetables. We allow one portion of dessert and alternate between any choice dessert and something on the healthier side that we present to everyone/eat as a family (fruit salad; homemade juice pops; jello).[/quote]
