All cases of underweight or overweight should be discussed with your doctor. If you are in aany doublt, let him decide.
Parents can do great harm by trying to make children eat more or less because someone-perhaps a relative or neighbor-has decided they are to thin or too fat. They can also do great harm by dismissing the subject with, “Oh, Johnny will grow out of it!”
Underweight and Overweight in young people can be serious; only a doctor can determine this and decide how it should be dealt with according to the cause, the age of the child, and the entire situation. The only thing parents should do on their own is to provide proper meals and a proper attitude toward them. Don’t use foos as a reward or withhold it as a punishment. Make meals pleasant and relaxed without overemphasizing them. In this way you will help to develop well functioning appestats in your children, for which they will be grateful all their lives. I discuss punishments as a method of maintaining discipline in children.
