I just started watching a very sweet and caring almost 3-year-old boy. He is clearly obese; I can't even lift him very well to take him over the gate to the nap room. My DD is 6 years old and is close to 48lbs he is well over her weight. I would say close to 60lbs.
His Mom on his medical info sheet says he doesn't know when to stop eating and to watch his portions and only offer healthy alternatives.
When it comes to nutrition that’s my middle name! I'm just extremely confused as he tells me they give him chocolate cereal for breakfast and lost of chocolate treats at home?
He is always asking for juice but I told him we get water at my house and juice once and a while as a special treat.
How to approach the subject without hurting feelings? He has only been with me for a week and I have been thinking of doing a cooking corner to my electronic daily reports. Plus nutrition facts and tips.
What do you ladies think?
P.S He isn’t fussy when it comes to eating anything he loves fruits and veggies!
