[quote=Anonymous]Don’t control food!!! I followed Satter when my kids were young and my take away was you control the food offered at home and they control what they eat. If you don’t have snacks when all their friends do, your kids will be always wanting what their friends have. I had neighbor kids at my house all the time asking for snacks or going in the pantry because they were hungry and their parents were hyper focused on food. My kids didn’t do this and never felt deprived or that they had to sneak food, or that food was “off limits.” They are teens now and eat healthy, don’t snack very much (on their own). I just don’t think food should be made a big deal. Buy what you want, but if you’re out with friends let them eat what they want if offered. [/quote]
