Shitlords Parents; your tips? I have an 11month old who is in the 99th percentile for height and weight. So was his dad, who played football and has a body like Chris Hemsworth. Anyway my kid loves eating and has since birth. He was breastfed and still is and I feed him mostly vegetables and meat baby food wise. He gets cheerios and fresh fruit for snacks and he never gets juice or cookies or other junk like that. He's been getting taller recently and actually went down a diaper size because his tummy has gotten smaller.   Anyway, I don't want to raise a fat kid and since he's my first I don't want to make any mistakes. I also want a balance because I know kids who were raised by health nuts who ballooned once they left home and got to eat what they wanted.   I eat really healthy. Whole grains, vegetables, lean protein, etc. I'm actually going to school to be a dietician. But I guess discipline is where I need help. I take him for walks, and limit tv time to like 30 mins 3 times a week at most.   I guess what I'm asking is if I could be making beginner parenting mistakes. Do I openly shitlord in front of him or could that lead to him being insecure around me? Do I sign him up for sports and push him or let him explore that on his own? Do I keep him away from fat kids? How much do I deprive him of junk so he doesn't feel desperate to try it when he can? And how much of this is actually in my control? It he's going to be fat as an adult is there really anything I can do to stop it?  Thanks and sorry if this is a wrong place to post this.
