Overeating? WWYD?

My dh is diabetic and really he does not eat much different than the rest of us. I already use whole grains and watch everyones amount. We eat lots of veggies and some fruit. We balance protein with carbs. Pretty much how I serve all the children But a banana is 2 servings of fruit.
I do not serve many sweets to the kids or dh so that is not a worry

That's so sad. It doesn't sound like she's taking it very seriously, though... if this were my child I'd have no problem sending the food just so my child was healthy.

Exactly. Like I would be ALL up on that. I've been overweight for most of life and I would never wish that on a kid.

Is he on target developmentally? There is a genetic condition called Prader-Willi Syndrome which causes the child to always feel hungry, but it usually also includes developmental delays.

I must've missed this the 1st time through this topic. I have a little girl, adopted at 18 months and she's been coming here for a year now, she's 2 1/2. Her appetite seems almost insatiable and she seems behind in a few ways. It could be anything but when you mentioned both symptoms, it made me stop. I'll have to research this a bit. Right now they're having her evaluated for speech and physical development. Thanks for mentioning this!
