[quote=Anonymous]My kids are naturally slim and I'm finding that they just are eating less since they are slightly less active, but I know I've gained weight and that's because I'm bored snacking. So if you have kids that tend to do that, just set them up on a schedule and don't let them eat outside of that unless its from a limited plate of cut veggies or something. You can frame it as a budgeting thing, or a "lets not make more trips to the store" and not a weight thing. As for being active, mine are learning to skateboard, and I also bought them Just Dance which they like to play. I bought a trampoline but its not here yet. My kids aren't super interested in just "playing outside" without their friends, maybe its an age thing, so having some sort of new thing to do whether thats a pair of new skates, new tree swing, skateboard, basketball hoop etc that they can focus on as a new "skill" helps.
