[quote=Anonymous]Here’s how I take OP’s point: Spouse has been nagging, but child’s behavior hasn’t changed. However, continuing to nag may be damaging the parent-child relationship or child’s self esteem. OP is making the point that it doesn’t make sense to continue the strategy that has no benefit but has significant downside. There’s something going on here that’s motivating the child’s unhealthy food choices, and it’s not a lack of knowledge about what is and isn’t healthy—because she’s been told that a thousand times. The reasons could be myriad like eating is emotionally soothing, she feels sluggish because she’s not sleeping well, she has poor impulse control, she bored. Until whatever the underlying issue is gets addressed, the weight gain will continue. OP, therapy is a good plan. But perhaps there are some behavioral self-diagnostics you and your kid could be doing at home to figure out what’s happening.[/quote]
