[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think three pieces of pizza is fine, and normal at that age. They are growing (and some grow earlier than others, so don’t focus on what her fiends do). But I agree with the PP that ten treats is obscene and you can and should say something about that. Frame it about sugar; too much sugar spikes your insulin and is bad for your body. Moderation in sugar is okay but that means 1-2 desserts. If she still is hungry then she can have more pizza or fruit or something else. [/quote] This! My 5 yo DS eats three pieces of pizza for dinner (if he hasn't just been snacking). As others have said, I would focus more on making sure that what she is eating is healthier. Reduce the treats, increase veggies, and talk to her about eating healthy foods. All things I'm trying to do with my DCs.[/quote]
