[quote=Anonymous]MB here. Here is what I would want my 3 1/2 year old told. "People come in all kinds of shapes and sizes and colors. Nobody looks exactly the same. Why don't you go play on...." I'd also start teaching that we don't talk about other people's appearance because we might hurt their feelings. I would not want you turning a comment on someone's appearance into a lesson on healthy eating. It teaches negative judgments. You can teach healthy eating as an important thing without using other people as negative examples. I live in the DC area. My kids see people of all colors and sizes, and frequently people with significant physical differences (we are near Walter Reed). If the kids have questions about things they are learning we talk about that when we are in private. In public they are learning manners. In private they are learning kindness. Your answer wouldn't work in our house, OP. [/quote]
