Since she started school, she has become somewhat overweight, and I find that food is taking an increasing importance in her life. We do not try to make it a big issue, however, we do try to help her make the right choices. On occasion, I find food and a jar of peanut butter hidden in her room. Since I am overweight myself, I am trying to get her to have good habits before it is too late. I try to tell her that hiding is not a good thing and she should talk to me about it, but she does it anyway. Do you have any suggestions?

It's from Ellyn Satter, RD "Your Child's Weight: Helping Without Harming" She has great advice for children who love to eat. Sometimes when a child knows their food intake is limited, they will eat every chance they can. Satter's Division of Responsibility of feeding solves this problem. She has many real life examples in her book -- check it out! Melissa,
