[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cured???? Your poor child. [/quote] My child was diagnosed with a medical condition. She no longer qualifies for that diagnosis. I personally found it helpful to think of it in those terms. Being “fat” is something we criticize as unaesthetic or a moral failing. Those are things I would obviously reject when applied to my child. But I accept that she qualified for the medical diagnosis of having childhood obesity and I also understand that it is treatable. Maybe this framing will help other parents whose children receive this diagnosis. That’s why I offer our story: in hopes that it helps. [/quote]
