[quote=Anonymous]I was more controlling about food/sugar when my kids were younger. I was advised to “let go a little” because of the whole controlling kids hide food thing, so between that and getting busier, there’s a lot more processed foods and sugar in the house than before. We are still not a soda family in the house. One of my kids regulates food/treats well and one does not at all. That kid has gained a lot of weight and that is not due to any restrictive behavior—he just really likes sugar and will take it any chance he can. He’s active and healthy but I worry about his self esteem and weight in the future becusse I know how hard it is to lose (having been overweight myself at points). It’s one of those “damned if you do damned if you don’t” situations where ultimately genetics has a huge sway of how someone turns out, more so than parenting imo.[/quote]
