Question
Hi, we have 4 children. Our oldest is 9 and adopted through foster care. Has been with us since a baby. She has had intermittent food issues like eating until she throws up as a toddler, but that resolved.
Recently, she has been sneaking candy and snacks out of the pantry and we find wrappers hidden behind couches or furniture. When we ask, she acts offended that we would think It is her "just because I messed up before doesn't mean it is my fault", but eventually after discussions around honesty admits she has done this.
How do we address the sneaking and lying issues without creating food issues or body image issues? She refuses to eat most healthy foods so it is hard to navigate.
