Child starving herself

An important thing providers do need to ensure is that kids don't get dehydrated during the day, especially the ones that can't talk yet. I have water available to my bunch at all times in their own non spill cups.

Also, if a child wasn't thriving wouldn't we notice that in things like dull hair, or bad nails/teeth? Seems like even with the crappy diets they still appear to be doing fine living on air!

Lol that's because they aren't living on air- they are living on grilled cheese or peanut butter sandwiches at home! Lol.

I had one older sibling tell me her mom didn't like when I fed the kids peppers or tomatoes. I said oh? Why is that? She said it's because his diapers get so stinky. This is the boy who only eats peanut butter sandwiches at home. Oh well I said. Good grief.

Wow. Not eating veggies to ward off stinky diapers!

I don't get how a lot of kids who grow up on hotdogs and KD, as did the kids in my neighbourhood (not mine - just occasionally), are functioning fine? How does that not affect them - they all look okay to me. But I wonder how they'll be when they're older and their body's building blocks were basically fillers and sodium... I guess the vitamins they add to processed food somehow helps.
