[quote=Anonymous]You are creating a craving. I was that kid. In a few short years, you are going to have ZERO control over what he buys with his own money & eats. Guess what I did at 16? Full on binges. I would say disordered eating for a good 10 years. Here’s what I would recommend - no “consequences”. No punishment, no extra chores or losing phone time or whatever punitive actions you could come up. Talk about how it’s not great for his health. Then move on. Maybe even buy a bag of Oreos & say, I know you can do better - have a few when you feel like it. I am parenting so differently now that I have kids, & I can tell you that my teens don’t do that. We have a bag of Oreos in the cabinet that have been there for probably 6 months. Someone has 3 or 4, & then forgets about it.[/quote]
