Being a child or a teenager isn´t easy as we all know.

As a teenager you usually think that limits are unnecessary.
One thing that comes with that is eating, the hunger can be overwhelming sometimes. Kids and teenagers need to eat more than adults due to growing but that can also make you as a parent, worried. Maybe you see that your child is eating all the time and doesn´t seem to have any limits.

As a parent we always worry that our kids aren´t eating enough or that they are eating too much. It can also be hard for a parent to deny their child extra food which can lead to overweight. Or you can have the opposite problem, your child isn´t eating enough.
