[quote=Anonymous]PP here... I'd also tell him what word is a kind way to describe ppl who are overweight. I think we unintentionally do our kids a disservice by not talking about differences in body size. In our house, we use slim, medium and plump. They know not to "call" anyone by those names, but if they need to describe something, they have words to use. I've noticed my son avoids calling anything FAT now, i.e. I once said "look at those big, fat, juicy peaches!" And he said, "don't you mean plump?!"[/quote]
