[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do not try to micromanage your pre-teen's food choices. Ice cream is not poison and it's just fine as a daily snack. Heaven knows, that kid probably gets limited food choices at home if the parent is having conniptions over ice cream. Did you think your child would stay the size and weight of a 10-year-old? Kids this age grow, gain weight, and change shape. Girls this age are already having body image issues. You should ensure you are not subconsciously reinforcing disordered eating habits.[/quote]

Thanks, but not an issue here. We are not judging body sizes, and my child does not have a body image problem. I am concerned about HEALTH. It is important what you put into your body. We all should be able to have discussions on healthy diet/weight without gettIng offended.[/quote]

I really hate the people, like OP, whose reaction to them not wanting their child exposed to some book, food, idea, is to ban the item for all children.[/b]

OP, you need to do a better job teaching your child your rules and enforcing them.  Other families have no problems with their children having some ice cream.  My children have no problem only getting ice cream once in a while as a treat.  And having that as an option for them when they want a treat is perfectly fine for us.  If your child is having problems with weight, then you need to address the issue with your child, not try to ban ice cream for all kids.[/quote]

Oh, I hope you were equally livid about the parents in MCPS who forced our ES to ban Halloween.  Heck, our ES even banned birthday celebrations.  MCPS has banned all sorts of things in the name of Equity and I agree that it sucks.  [/quote]

They banned education at our school in the name of equity.[/quote]
