[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It really depends on your kids.  I have one kid that is great at self regulation, and one that isn’t.  The one that isn’t is borderline overweight.  She just wants to eat a lot.  I stopped buying processed snack foods because she would eat them in large quantities.  But even heathy foods, I will sometimes guide her to balance her eating. Instead of eating 3 banana, eat one banana and a cheese stick. Things like that. Or instead on a second heaping serving of pasta, have a small second serving and some more chicken.  [/quote]

There is research that says this prevents kids from learning to recognize their own satiety signals and increases the likelihood they will be overweight in adulthood.  [/quote]

We all grew up with reasonable limits on meal and snack times. The kitchen wasn’t open 24 hours a day and my mom only shopped once a week. None of us kids are overweight adults. Probably because our parents aren’t. [/quote]

Agree. This is how almost everyone used to be parented prior to the 80's.[/quote]
