Mom! If you eat
too much granola bars, can you become thin? Tell me!
It is quite scary. I didn't know how to respond;
however, as an initial response, I just said NO!
For Hans, it is a question. For me, it is a concern. I
am quite shocked at how so early in their little lives the kids are talking
about being thin...scary part is that they are wondering about ways to get
thin!
A few days ago, Hans refused to wear a coat to school.
When I insisted, he started crying. He said that the last time he wore it,
some boy called him fat on the playground. I told him to ignore that boy and
wear the coat!
I always thought that the issues around body image are
more of a concern for girls than boys. It turns out I am wrong in my
assumption. It is a concern for everyone.
