S/O: Do you "cut off"?

[Inspired by Reggio]

Well who knows? I am not ALWAYS right! Almost always though! hahahahaha!!!

LOL - just wanted to add I think in this case we could actually both be correct

I do agree feeding certain children 3-4 servings at every meal is not healthy ... had a kid in a daycare years ago who 'over ate' because from infancy no one paid attention to his hunger cues ... children typically naturally will eat more leading up to a growth spurt but than 'slow down' and sort of 'yo yo' back and forth in appetite innately as they 'need' more under certain time frames .... however his parents in those HIGH APPETITE times assumed that was what he 'needed' so when he would slow down as an infant they would PUSH him to eat the same as he did going into a growth spurt cause they were 'worried' he was not eating enough ... they did not TRUST him to know how much he needed and follow his lead so his innate ability broke ... as a result as he grew he did not trust his own 'gauge' for what he needed and would eat what made his parents 'praise' him ... than on top of that his lifestyle was sedentary ... his parents were stay home and watch TV types verses get out to the park after dinner types ... he did not get a chance to burn off those extra calories he consumed and so he was obese as a result ... this is where balance and knowing your child comes into play ... so with him we WOULD limit his foods at daycare - at least the higher calorie higher carb foods to one child size serving and replace the rest of his options with low calorie high fibre options to fill his perceived 'hunger' from years of being overfed.

Balance and reflection on common sense for sure.
