[quote=Anonymous]No, I have zero regrets. I didn't push my kids to do anything. Now, oldest kid looks back and says they wished they had eaten more protein in high school so they would have done better as an athlete. They took ownership of not eating in a way that supported their athleticism and now they want to do better. This is growth! Back then, I did encourage them to eat differently and in a way that was better for their sports goals. In the end, all I can do is suggest and educate. I can not place the tuna or beef in their mouth and make them chew. This can be a metaphor for many things we think our kids should do. They are fully capable of learning on their own. Your child is taking a victim posture, it seems. That casts you into the persecutor in Karpman's triangle. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karpman_drama_triangle [/quote]
