[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't not allow them anything except for caffeinated soda (they are under 8).  I don't buy a lot of things. [b]And i worked on making sure their palates are good so many things like little Debbie taste too sweet to them anyway.[/b] They take 1 bite and thats it. [/quote]

:lol:

Oh you parents of young kids... The most comical thing about you is your endless ability to ascribe a causal link between your specific parenting choices and whatever desirable traits your kids happen to be displaying at that particular time. [/quote]

Yea I had a similar pride when my son was about four and could only eat a few bites of a bakery cookie before abandoning it. He's older now and it didn't last. When they have any level of independence at school and access to candy things change. [/quote]

Ha same.  DS wasn't a sweets kid when he was younger.  He would have a couple of bites of things (even ice cream) and be done.  Then he hit 8ish and it all changed.  Then we taught him moderation and portion and serving sizes.  I grew up with a mom who didn't have a good relationship with food or body image and I think it is really important to teach kids how to consume things in a healthy way.  I never want to make him think food is bad but we discuss why some things are better than others and why that is the case.  [/quote]
