The girl told her that it's because she eats too much cake (while she was eating birthday cake). We had a very specific discussion after that about being polite. Hard one! We have talked about being overweight is being unhealthy - but she loves to tell me how skinny she is - that one's even worse - I can't get her over that one.Horsley5https://www.blogger.com/profile/04776525669324979409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7666400142726914773.post-51958628573461123062009-09-12T21:56:51.215-07:002009-09-12T21:56:51.215-07:00Leave it to kids to tell it as it is!
That is too ...Leave it to kids to tell it as it is!<br />That is too funny.<br /><br />I focus on the "healthy" not weight. As long as we are eating right and getting in exercise we are good!The Eccleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08637591029468504472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7666400142726914773.post-80625740850787115832009-09-12T07:48:23.698-07:002009-09-12T07:48:23.698-07:00Dallin has the same problem.

For example, when Abigail asks why she can't have hot lunch at school and I tell her it's not healthy. But she pushes it and it's hard not to say that it can make one fat. And you're totally right! I reinforce the skinny body style inadvertently all the time. I haven't figured out how to work that one out perfectly yet. But when I become the perfect Mom, I will totally let you know!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07168444303881985322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7666400142726914773.post-71418620015504187392009-09-11T21:52:01.502-07:002009-09-11T21:52:01.502-07:00Ok, seriously.

How do you get them to not do that, without making such a big deal out of it that you are in fact, reinforcing the fact that being (insert adjective) really isn't good and is embarrassing? I have run into that problem here. I have also, inadvertently, reinforced a certain body style because it is not socially taboo to remark on how thin someone is. Still trying to backpedal that one.
