[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder if issues like this lead to the many "how do I find pants with a 24 inch waist and 34 inseam" threads.  My sister controlled her son's food intake and he was never allowed to eat more as he got older.  He was 6'2 and 120 pounds (also had constipation issues).  You can't feed a growing kid as if they are a 40 year woman who is on a permanently calorie restricted diet.

My DD worked at a Sweetgreen and saw a mom go ballistic when her kid asked for strawberries on a salad because he was going to have fruit later.   :shock: [/quote]

OP here . I definitely mentioned nothing about restricting the amount they eat. They eat massive meals when hungry. Plate and plates of lasagna, bowls of oatmeal, my son will put back two or three of those little raspberry packs in a matter of minutes. They are very well fed nourished kids, and we never restrict how much they eat at meals. But we have always had rules about when they can snack and actively guides food choices. I was looking for advice on increasing g independent on this matter while considering other issues and teaching them food habits. All you people coming out streaming and calling me mentally ill and imagining I’m starving my kids. WTF[/quote]
