[quote=Anonymous]I think you handled it fine considering you only had a few minutes to consider what you would say. You're in a tough spot because you are trying to teach two concepts which, in the case, contradict each other. On the one hand you want to teach healthy eating habits as well as be honest with your charge. On the other hand you want to socialize the child so she doesn't blurt out embarrassing and hurtful comments. Hate to nitpick but in this case you may have wanted to concentrate on the socialization aspect by saying, as a PP mentioned, that people come in all shapes and sizes. The issue with what you said is that the next time your charge sees an obese person she'll naturally ask them why they eat so much. With all that said, i don't think this is a big deal. [/quote]
