Mum and dad .... Do your children witness you weighing yourself - TopicsExpress



          

Mum and dad .... Do your children witness you weighing yourself everyday? Do their little ears hear you say Im too fat Im going on a diet? Be careful what little ears hear... Be careful what little eyes see. Children are like sponges they take it all in... And most will tend to pick up traits from their parents. If a child witnesses a parent weigh themselves every day they will grow up to believe thats the normal thing to do and in this simple act we can create a bondage upon our children related to scales from a very early age... Even worse if we react badly to the number on the scales and they see our disappointed faces if the results are not what we long for...If your child is over weight then talk Health to them rather than weight this way you are not directly accusing them of over eating but rather holding out a hand of help Because you care for their health and wellbeing.. A teenager will Accept health help quicker than weight help and will prob cause less tension. Parents we are our childrens role models. Promote health in the home and you will produce healthy children.
