A parent addresses a child's junk food habits and weight gain, then helps them recognize they're eating to cope with stress. The conversation focuses on naming the feeling behind the behavior rather than just restricting food.
No more chips, beta. Stop eating so much junk. It's really affecting your body. See, you're gaining so much weight. You're not looking good, beta. I care for you. I love you. That's why I'm telling you, beta, don't eat so much junk food. Stop this nonsense. It's really not good for you. What feeling were you trying to fix? With food. You know, I have seen in my experience as well, a lot of times when I am stressed, I end up eating a lot. So the feeling was stress, and I was trying to fix it with food. Can you tell me what was the feeling you were feeling?
