[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stop packing leftovers.

My DS told me that kids who bring leftovers or smelly foods are made fun of. Maybe that's what is going on.

Also, let me just say: the friends of my kids who have strict parents who control their food options go absolutely feral at my house where we don't control food.

Being super controlling over food leads to food issues with your kids when they're older. My own sis is going through this. Her teen has a job and his own money and started eating lots of fast food that she never allowed. He packed on weight. He's 17 with high blood pressure!!  [/quote]

This! There is such a fine line between teaching your kids healthy habits and being a control freak. Check your own food issues before you pass them on to your kids. [/quote]

I completely agree. My parents were a little strict on treats and things growing up. All it did was make me buy my own junk food or go nuts on snacks when at a friends houses when older. And it has definitely influenced my relationship with food as I have been heavier from teenage years on because of it. I have a young child and just don’t make any foods off-limits. We have things like tortilla chips, cookies, and Popsicles at home. And some days she has some, other days she does not. Hoping this contributes to healthy habits. And that includes eating the processed school lunch sometimes.[/quote]
