[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids are really disadvantaged by having parents allow them to do anything they want due to fear any instruction or direction will hurt their feelings or upset them.  You owe it to your child to teach her how to eat a normal amount of food.  It’s not mean to point out what an appropriate portion is or that you shouldn’t take 10 treats.  Having her become grossly overweight and not doing anything about it is just cruel.  Being overweight will be way worse for her emotional well being than having parents be direct as to what an appropriate amount of food is.  Please help your child and start addressing this issue.

Forget the emotional wellbeing. Kids who go through puberty fat are likely to stay fat their entire adult life. Fatty liver disease and fatty streaks in the arteries can start before puberty. Type 2 diabetes is being diagnosed in kids at increasing rates. PCOS, cancer, infertility, obstetric complications. Years shaved off life expectancy. Even Alzheimer's is related to insulin resistance [/quote]
