[QUOTE="KK123, post: 2221520, member: 451727"] Hi cocosilk, it's hard with kids of that age isn't it! I became quite obsessed with what my children ate when they were that age but in the end I thought, instead of trying to have countless age appropriate conversations with them, I just restricted what 'junk' they ate at home without them particularly noticing, and when they were out with others...well...what can you do! I think the more I went on about it the more they perceived that 'sweets' were the holy grail and must therefore be grabbed at every opportunity. I think if MOST of the time they have access to the good stuff then they will turn out fine. It's when they get to adulthood that the problems around food really start! x [/QUOTE]
