Weight, Weight…Don’t tell me!

At a recent visit with our children’s pediatrician for their annual check up, Grandma got an A+. Apparently, in the first month my mom spent with us, my 5-year-old son Krishna had gained 2 lbs. That might sound real easy for those of us with slow metabolic rates, but it’s not so simple when it comes to my fussy eater.
Her trick: Don’t take no for an answer. The doctor might tell you that they’ll eat when they’re hungry, and that as along as they are active, you’ve nothing to worry about.
But some kids NEVER get hungry. And the reason they eat, I have come to realize, is out of pity for their parents!
Now that the kids are home on their summer break, Grandma is on their case 24/7, and it seems to be working! Knock on wood!!!
Mothers, any tricks or tips ?

Not eating well may lead to constipation…another serious problem!
I keep telling my son:One who doesn’t eat well,gets hit well;one who eats well,shits well!
