Quote From: jagdhjagdhI am really surprised at the title of the show, more big fat babies. Dr. phil claims to be such a children's right advocate, yet he allows children to be called fat. these children are not at fault, whether it be medical or their eating habits. i highly doubt that a three year old is cooking her own meals. i am very disappointed
But the kids on the show ARE fat!! Calling them something else wont change anything, except maybe make the parents feel a bit better about what they've allowed to happen.
Let's please just cut to the chase here - if you have an overweight child, take that child to the doctor and rule out a medical condition such as a thyroid problem. Once you do that, let's PLEASE just face facts. YOUR CHILD IS EATING TOO MUCH OF THE WRONG FOODS, AND EXERCISING TOO LITTLE!! That is NOT the child's fault - IT IS THE PARENTS FAULT!!! It is no coincidence that fat kids more often than not have fat parents. It saddens me to see parents that are desperately searching for some reason for their childs condition, and express anger at society, doctors, Dr. Phil, and so on, for not "understanding". If these parents want a solution for their child, all they've gotta do is look in the mirror.
