Would u call ur child fat?

Question

Accepted Answer

Absolutely not. If I felt my child was overweight and needed to lose some weight, I would start us BOTH on a healthier diet, start taking them walking and exercising (depending on their age), and help them live a healthier life overall. Never would I put them down by calling them fat.

Answer

And that's how you cause depression.

Answer

Never ! I’ve been fat my entire childhood purely because my parents overfeed me (and my siblings and themselves) and throughout my childhood they would tell me how big I was and say I need to lose weight and tell me to stop eating so much and then would still pile lots of food on my plate and obviously as a child I just assumed that was the normal amount to eat. It just makes me so angry at them and confused so just always make sure you’re being supportive and helpful and never shame your child

Answer

As someone who was called fat my whole childhood there would be no way i would ever call my kids fat... I know how much it can hurt from anyone. Even now as an adukt i get scared to gain weight because i know how people can act. I was never even big as a child, i just ate alot. But i know the emotional problems it can cause. Just make your child healthier meals and maybe find more active things for you to do together. Don't make it seem like you're trying to make them lose weight.

Answer

My mom said I needed to lose 25 pounds to be happier with myself. So I did. And now she thinks I’m sick because I lost so much weight. But she’s the one that told me to do it.

Answer

I would never insult my child by calling them fat. However, if they were overweight or gaining a lot of weight when they got older I would be concerned about their health and mention exercise or no sugar diets. If they’re adults I’m going to be honest but not use the word “fat”.

Answer

As a child? No. Would I encourage physical activity and healthy eating, always. 
If they asked me as an adult for honesty and asked about that, I would always offer honesty and whatever they need.
I don’t lie to my child. But talking about a child’s body isn’t appropriate really.

Answer

If u say yes why

Answer

My mom used to. Still does sometimes (I'm 5'4 and 160 lbs so I'm not but ya know people were smaller back in the day), buuut i have pretty thick skin so it never really affected me. Thats not the case for all kids though and honestly i still kinda got/get mad. Not because it made me feel bad but because why would ya say that to your own kid
