She eats too much

Mm.. Nothing is wrong in eating. But the thing is that you have to burn those calories you eat up. So what i request you is that to take her to play and involve her in some physical activities. You also tell her the importance of maintaining health. Hope your daughter takes your advice.

She is just a child. She needs to be guided. She needs to be talked to. It may not be easy but it is not a hopeless situation. For the child's own good in the long run, something must be done. The food is provided by her family. She could not possibly eat if the food is not there. But we just can not stop it abruptly. Maybe substitute it with low or zero calorie foods at first. Then gradually cut down on the intake by the day. Ask her to do exercise and provide her with interesting activities to do to burn her energy. Seek help from the professionals before it is too late.

I wonder how tall is she? But you are right, it seems that she is overweight. I am 163cm and I am just 46kg. It is not a good sign for such a young girl to be overweight. It is harmful for the health. Of course being skinny is not good, but obviously 47kg is not a right weight for a 12 years old girl. Her mother should do something for her. Such as making healthier food and letting her have a good diet. I love China

I can see myself in her. There are many days when I cannot stop eating even if I know it's bad. Nowadays, I'm controlling my eating habits. Good thing I'm not getting fat even if I eat all the time but this is not good for my health. So I really just control. What I do is try to make myself busy. I exercise, I do a lot work, I study, I go out. I do everything to make myself busy and not think of eating. I suggest you make her busy and productive too. Is she always in the house? If she's always out (maybe you can enroll her in sports or in a language class or whatever), she will eat less.

Difficult situation; this is kinda like closing the stall after the horse has run off. Parents must be parents and teachers and leaders for their children; it is much easier to mold a child's eating habits from infancy rather than try to re-educate someone who has developed bad habits. This child is half grown, it will be difficult to reset her eating habits. She may need to seek help from medical professionals for herself, her family and her child; they will all have to go through this process together or most likely it will not be successful.

That's good that she eats that much, but you should take control of the things she eat. Start with the breakfast - hamburger is not the best think to eat and don't you think she's too little for coffee. And ice cream and cake everyday is not a good choice. Try with fruits instead of ice cream. If she eats that much she should eat for or five times a day separate. And at dinner she should eat something small. And if that doesn't help she could start practicing some kind of sport. I hope I helped. Good Luck !

Hello tkonl. It seems to me that kids are in more control than parents these days. The mother should not keep any of these foods in the house. She should replace them with whole grains such as steel cut oats with fruits such as apple, bananas, and vegetables such as carrots, broccoli, and other vegetables that can be eaten with the hands. Mom could also take the daughter for walks everyday. Mom should lead by example by eating her fruits, vegetables and whole grains. Another thing she should do is eliminate all sugars except those that are natural in the foods.

She's 12 and overweight. Well only the mother can help her child. Where does the child gets all her food but from their own kitchen. I think her mother should not provide that much food. She should rather keep food out of child's eyes. The discipline her to eat right. Of course she's young and she would do just about what pleases her so she needz a real strict guidance in her eating habit.

Obesity is not good thing, my friend. I think her mother should do something to stop her child into that habit...Because if she still continue like that in the future the worse scenario will not be avoidable

Personally speaking, I also ate a lot when I was a boy at her age. In that stage we needed many nutrition to support the growth. But I think that she didn't form a good habit of eating. What she eats are mostly high calorie, high fat, high sugar foods, which are not good for her health. And she doesn't eat in the proper time, which means her digestive system is unable to run regularly. Her mother had better send her to the hospital to let the doctors check whether she is sick.

Her mother should still be able to change her eating habits and then she would lose weight! If she doesn't feed her a hamburger and doesn't have cake and stuff in the house then the girl can't eat it. She should try to have more fruit and stuff for her for a snack.

engage the child in some exercises it's k for kids to eat a lot since they're still growing up but you have to partner it with exercise or else they'll become fat and unhealthy

12 years old with a weight is 47 kg, it is really not good for her. My weight is 45 kg and I tall 164 cm. Wish I can do like her, eat and eat to make my weight increased...^^ The mother should do something for her kid now. It is not easy to suddenly stop the kid's eating, but can allow her to attend more activities outside such as attending a exercise class for kids, or karate class. Let her accompany with her mom to go for a walk every afternoon,...or any activity as long as she is not just stay at home and see food on a table or in icebox. One thing more the mother should do is try to train her kid eating at a fixed time in a day, out of that, kid have to learn to wait. It take a time and need to be patient but the mother should do soon.

encourage her to join a sport that she might have interest or encourage her to do exercise with you, and as much as early try to tell to her to eat slowly because she might make it her hobby till she grows up.

wow... the mother must bring her daughter to doctor.. it seems she get a disease...

Ahw, that's difficult. However, we all know this isn't good. Just discipline her about her eating diet, what should be the proper diet for her and do some health education. Tell her some scenario, what would happen if she eats too much, introduce healthy foods to her. Of course, allow her to do some fun activities that she could do to divert her attention from just eating foods. Discipline her while she's still young, remind her constantly to eat food responsibly. Encourage her to exercise also. I know it's hard but her parents especially her mother should do the best they can to modify her eating habit. Don't just ignore it, something can be done. Hope this helps.:)

first of all the best thing to do is go to a doctor and make some blood analysis.ahe may have some vitamins or minerals lacks which are caiusing this big apetite. then she should try to talk to her.maybe she has some issues that cause depression,yes even kids can be depressed,and she eats to feel good. then she should see a nutritionist because the weight is concerning and she will have health problems if she keeps eating like this. if the mother can handle this is always good to get specialized help.

It is a difficult situation to handle but she is just a child and her parents need to guide her about her eating habits. They should explain to her about eating healthy food. They should stop buying junk food and not bring any junk or unhealthy food to their house. Tbey should encourage her to eat healhty food and buy fruits and vegetables for their home. Also, they should encourage her to be active and exercise. They can make her participate in an extra curricular activity to promoe active lifestyle such as swimming...

For a kid,it is a little too much.Maybe you should advise her to start a diet.You shall force her to have three meals a day.Apart from this,I hope you should take her to a hospital.I have seen a kid whose situation is quite similar to your kid.And that kid is diagnose a n ailment.God bless your kid,anyway.

The daughter will have to learn to change her eating habits. Perhaps a trip to a nutritionist or her dr. will kind of scare her enough to change her ways to what she eats so she can be healthy again. If she is only 12, she is obviously not driving through the drive through herself for that hamburger, so it is important for the mother to offer a balanced breakfast. Have her try some eggs, or muffins, or cereal. If she doesn't like a certain foods, try another till she finds a better alternative that she likes, compared to what she is eating now.
