My dd is in Year 6. She is very self-conscious about her weight and we have had all sorts of talks about healthy eating and exercise. Last term they were weighed and had their height measured as part of a government initiative and we got a letter just before xmas telling us she was overweight. We haven't shared this information with her, particularly as she is going through puberty at the moment and I don't think it's worth upsetting her when she is already aware that she is slightly bigger than all her friends. When I picked her up from school today, she told me that two boys in her class were being mean to her. When I asked her what they had done, she said they were being silly saying "Halloween is over now, you can take your mask off". She then told me that they had made her cry although she wouldn't tell me what they had said at first. After some coaxing she told me they said "the baker is on the phone, he want his rolls back". She immediately took this to be a comment about her weight and started to cry, at which point the teacher intervened. She was taken outside by the teaching assistant and the boys involved told her they were sorry for upsetting her. I told her to ignore them if they do this Again and speak to her class teacher and let him deal with it but that some boys are very immature and she mustn't be upset by what they've said, etc., etc. I could quite happily give these boys a piece of my mind but feel that perhaps they didn't realise how sensitive she is about the weight and they were just very insensitive. We all know boys can be silly. Did I do the right thing? I'm really upset on her behalf although she doesn't know this obviously, and she appears to be fine now. Should I be upset or should I just brush it off?
