[quote=Anonymous]I agree with all other commentators above that yelling is not healthy at all and counterproductive. She is now associating eating with anger and upset, is that what you want? I also wanted to say that my DD was 34 lbs at age 4 (I just looked at my records) and she is somewhere around 40-42 at age 7. It is a perfectly healthy weight. Her pediatrician is not concerned in the least, and we are not either. She has a small, fine-boned frame and this has become even more apparent as she has grown. It was tempting to try to get her to eat more when she was younger, because I was concerned like you are, but I resisted and she doesn't have any eating issues. She eats a wide variety of foods and is willing to try new things. Sometimes she eats a small amount, sometimes she packs in a lot of food and above all, she trusts her body to tell her when she is hungry or not. [/quote]
