[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So I really want to know how to handle this myself; We barely ever have junk food in the house, but that is causing my dd to go beserk when she gets any junk at her friend's or grandma's or wherever; I try to get her to exercise portion control but she doesnt "get it" despite many explanations of why something is bad for health. Also she has a tendency to put on weight rather quickly! What do i do what do i do?? [/quote] Read one of Ellyn Satter's books. Once in awhile your kid should have unlimited access to junk food. So let's say a few nights a week you do dessert - one cookie, or whatever. Every now and then just have a plate of cookies out and everyone can eat as much as they would like in that one sitting. Don't worry about your daughter's weight. Encourage good habits and the rest is up to her, without judgment from you. [/quote]
