I can only hope that if your doctor realized the stress her words have caused you, she would put more thought into what she says to parents about children's weight. Clearly we need to have a better understanding of whatever standards they are looking at when they make comments and recommendations about eating Ameliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09358971429500616524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8967825611147000619.post-41812217857675102082011-09-13T20:18:34.875-04:002011-09-13T20:18:34.875-04:00I love your last paragraph, especially the last se...I love your last paragraph, especially the last sentence. It is scary, especially raising girls, to think about all the negative messages (and the focus) that they do and will receive about their appearance and body shape/size. Good for you for being a positive influence in your daughter's life, making sure she feels good about herself and has a healthy attitude toward her body and food.

As long as she is healthy (and it sounds like she is) there is no reason to introduce body stress at age 2!! Kids come in all shapes and sizes. If she is eating nutritious food and exercising she will be fine, and it is only up to you to teach her (and her grandparents!) to love the body she has.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15752385813837915948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8967825611147000619.post-21115962229530554542011-09-11T09:30:04.085-04:002011-09-11T09:30:04.085-04:00Seriously.

They do suggest switchign to 2% or 1% milk at age 2 (which we did) but I let my kids eat cake at a party. The part I struggle with is do I say "no cake until yo eat your dinner". Child of Mine says not to but they don't eat anything without threatMommy, Esq.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00228638552586921228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8967825611147000619.post-91226464800611759032011-09-10T14:58:14.270-04:002011-09-10T14:58:14.270-04:00This post makes me want to A) Call your doctor and...This post makes me want to A) Call your doctor and tell him to shove it, B) bake your daughter a cake and come over and eat it with her, C) give you a hug! <br /><br />You baby is a baby!! She is only 2 - no way should you have to worry about what she eats. The fact that she is eating is a great thing...And hearing comments from other people is so hard too.
