[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s tough OP. My DD is similar but younger and still thin. I’m not sure how I will broach it if it continues. I would like to be honest and direct and tell her that being overweight will dramatically her dating options in life and make it much harder to find a man who will love her, if she wants to date. But I know that the direct approach is not popular. [/quote] This is awful to say to a little girl. I would have the pediatrician have a conversation with her. I am lucky enough to have a very blunt one who would be able to do this. Advice about food is always taken better from a doctor than a parent. Keep it based on health. A 10 year old girl does not need to hear about her future dating options.[/quote]
