[quote=Anonymous]If I was going to make the distinction, I'd say: Healthy eating = discussing what [i]types of food/nutrients [/i]we should eat Almond/diet Mom = discussing [i]how much[/i] we should eat (and/or what we should NOT eat) For 90% of kids, if you provide a lot of healthy food and make sure they are having balanced meals before any snacks/treats, they will self-regulate pretty well in terms of intake. I really don't think there has to be any discussion about the amounts of food, the size of their portions, etc. We do have dessert and a bit of junk around. But once they have a healthy meal or snack, they can't really get through that much. And if my kid is truly getting overweight on e.g. avocados, yogurt, apples and sandwiches (possible but unlikely), then so be it...[/quote]
