[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok, for those of you who are criticizing me -- let's be clear, I have not said a single thing to the kid. But I can tell it's bothering him - i.e. he is refusing to do swim team this summer and I think a big part of it is that he's embarrassed to be in swim jammers. He's got a belly that is hanging over his swim trunks so to me, that's a little pudgy. I appreciate everyone's advice and will continue to encourage activity and trying to limit processed foods and too much sugar (which is good nutrition advice for everyone, tbh). [/quote] You THINK that's a big part of it, but have you asked him why? Kids lose interest in all sorts of activities for all sorts of reasons, and while you are clearly troubled by your son's weight gain, that doesn't mean it's why he wants to skip swim team (or if it is, it's because he foresees a lot of eyerolling from you about his weight)[/quote]
