Instead her diet consisted of BBQ shapes, potato chips, cheezles, tiny teddies, chocolate, flavoured milk, soft drink and other high processed treats. Give her anything nutritious and she'd carry on and protest and refuse to eat. Maybe she'd go for some pasta but certainly no fruit or vegetables or meat.
This pore little girl was constipated ALL the time and was so scared to go to the toilet, because it would hurt, that she would hold on for days. Making going to the toilet all the more scary and painful.
Her mother would take her to doctors and they'd prescribe laxatives and tell the mother to feed her high fiber foods. No where in there was the doctor asking what her eating habits were and giving the mum some necessary tips on how to get her little girl to eat properly. When the laxatives were given and made the little girl need to go she'd cry and shake and try to hold in her poos because she feared the pain of going. Poor little love.
When anyone questioned the mothers actions she'd simply say "She won't eat anything else so I have to give her something just so she's got food in her tummy".
Wrong Wrong WRONG!
The only reason this little girl was eating all that junk food by the time she was two is because her silly parents introduced her to it in the first place. Once she'd had a taste for the finer things in life (sweets and treats) she refused to eat normal healthy food because she didn't like the taste. If only her parents had fed her properly from the beginning and not introduced foods a small child shouldn't be eating, they'd have had a normal, happy, content little girl on their hands.
When friends suggested ways in which to get the girl eating properly, such as offering her normal food only and having that be her ONLY option until such time as she got hungry enough to eat, the parents would say it's too hard.
This little girl whinged and nagged and cried for bad foods until her parents gave in. This reinforced her idea of how to get what she wanted. It also compounded her constipation and her fear of going to the toilet. All up it was so easy, so simple for her parents to mess her life up in those first few years of her life.
One can only hope that as a teen and adult this little girl learns to make good choices for herself and her health, and that her constipation doesn't ruin her health later in life. Though sadly her parents are free to get away with their pore behavior because there is no body forcing them to pick up their game. How sad.
