My daughter is 7 years old, and she is chubby. While I don’t think she is necessarily aware of it right now, I know that in the coming years it will be harder and harder for her as the other children become harsher critics of each other’s appearances. The pre-teen years are just around the corner.
I know this is such a delicate topic especially with pressure from the media and the prevalence of eating disorders. Any suggestions for how to talk to my daughter about healthy eating without making her feel uncomfortable?
Thanks!
