Topic : 06/21 Little Boys, Big Weight Problems

I am disgusted when I see parents letting children walk all over them like that. It is the parents responsibility to control their children, and they should not bow to pressure of the children having temper tantrums when they don't get the food they want. If it was my child that was obese, I would throw out every piece of junk food in the house and refuse to give the child anything but, no matter how much or how loudly he screamed, or if he hit, punched, bit, whatever! I would lay down the law right then and there.  If the kid was hungry enough, he'd learn to eat the food that I set out for him, and would learn that I'm not going to bow down to him and his demands just because he's throwing a fit. Those parents need to take control of their children before it's too late!!!! If parents don't nip that behavior in the bud at a young age, then obese children will grow up with horrible physical problems. Not to mention the torment that they would go through on a day to day basis in school and in public. Children have a knack for being cruel to those who are big, and even some adults point and whisper. No child needs that kind of life, so it is important that those children are taught proper eating habits now while the parents still CAN!!!!!
