[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is one of the (many) reasons I’m so picky about families.  Child learn more from what we do than what we say (even at 8 and 10).

Your kids are feeling envious every. single. time. this happens.  Because you (reasonably) don’t want them eating the same junk as much as she does, you’re being set up.  Anytime we repeatedly tell child no about something specific, we’re creating temptation.  They’re more likely to binge once they’re allowed on r out of sight.

To me, being a nanny is about education and setting a good example.  I model appropriate food choices and portion sizes.  My charges play “guess how many vegetables are on my plate” and laugh themselves silly.  For me, it’s not connected to weight at all, as my choices are healthy, but I’m very overweight.  Since I typically eat all three meals with my charges, and they see that I don’t sack when they do, they can see that food choices don’t always correlate to weight, but do to energy and health.[/quote]

If only the rest of us were as wonderful and perfect as you.[/quote]

I’m far from perfect.  I just think that we have no business presenting poor role models, when it’s easily avoidable.[/quote]
