Shocked this evening when my 6 year old dd asked me why is she so fat! Now she definitely isn't a fat child so I was curious where this came from. She told me her class mate told her she was fat!!!
I was so shocked....firstly dd isn't fat by any stretch of the imagination and secondly thats not something these little girls should be saying to each other.
Dd was very upset. I reassured her that she isn't fat and that girl probably didn't realise how she was hurting her feelings. I told her if it happened again to stand tall and tell her she's being mean and hurting
her feelings. If that doesn't stop then tell the teacher (or I will).
Felt so sorry for dd cos she said " I never knew I was fat but now I know I am"
She's so young to be feeling like this. .makes me feel so sad really.
