[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What’s with all these parents of teens waking up one day and realizing the kids are large? Where have the parents been the last 5-10 years as this was happening??! It reminds me of the parents of 4 year olds who think it’s “cute” their child can eat an entire container of strawberries at once and the parent isn’t concerned by that at all. Eating huge quantities, even of healthy food, is going to make you fat. You CAN overfeed a child, just like you can overfeed an animal. Be a parent. [/quote]

I have a skinny child who eats a child. I once posted whether I should limit her food. People said I was crazy. I have two sons who eat a ton and are athletes and a petite daughter who eats like her brothers but is still under 20 BMI.[/quote]

How old is she? Are both of her biological parents still skinny? I’ve noticed a pattern where fat parents of skinny kids think it’s awesome how much their kids can eat and not get chubby…until they do. I don’t understand parents who refuse to limit food, ever. I serve a meal, I offer reasonable seconds and after that it’s “that’s enough, go play. Come back in 20 minutes if you are still hungry.” They never do because their body realized they are full and their brain moves on.[/quote]
