[quote=Anonymous]I don’t think it’s that people are in denial about the dangers of being overweight. It’s that people know—often from experience—that commenting on it can have devastating, long-reaching consequences on a child’s eating habits and self-perception: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/stop-commenting-about-your-childs-weight_n_57642cf7e4b015db1bc929a5 OP should absolutely have her daughter see the pediatrician, do a work up, and tune in with her daughter’s mental health and emotional state. She can initiate outings and activities with physical activity. But saying something very often brings with it judgment and shame and therefore backfires, triggering restriction or overeating and a generally tense, unhealthy relationship with food that can be lifelong.[/quote]
