Just wondering how other parents are going to handle Halloween treets. My thinking is to not set limits that night and then hide the stuff and hand it out, one piece at a time, and if lasts until Christmas, so be it. This is probably her last year for trick-or-treating anyway.

My daughter Lisa is 8 years old and weights 150 pounds. A friend of mine said that I'm abusing my child by letting her get so "fat". What is your opinion. My daughter is also quite often teased by other kids, as she is by far the heaviest girl in her school. But she doesn't want to loose weight, because she really loves to eat. I'm also obese and don't know how to motivate my daughter to loose weight.

Hi. I'm writing about my middle daughter, Sarah. She is a competitive swimmer and could be quite good, except for the fact that she has weight issues and is in an event (sprinting) which requires a body that is very light. As a former swimmer myself I try to stress to her the importance that she lose atleast twenty pounds, but she just shrugs it off and calls me 'old school'. She is 5'11 and 180 pounds. Her coaches and I know that she could be state champion caliber if she would just take off the weight. This frustrates me so much...any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I've posted here before and am still looking for some concrete advice. I am the step mother of a very big 9 year old. She is 4'2" and weighs in at 160. Her weight has been creeping up at the average of two pounds every two weeks. Since we have her and her 13-year old brother with us only two weekends a month, there's not much we can do but eat healthy - which we always do, encourage physical activity, limit TV and computer time. Both of her bio parents are diabetic and now she has asthma (weight induced). Bio-Mom won't move on the weight issue and this year the kids are really picking on her at school. What's a stepmother to do without being a complete butinski?

My daughter has been getting really heavy. She is only 11 and weighs in at 185lbs. She is only 5'2". I buy her healthy things and pack her healthy things for lunch, but I think she takes things from her friends and borrows money from them and buys pizza, I told her friends parents to not let their kids loan my daughter money, so that way she could get healthier but it just breaks my heart to her getting heavier and pack on the weight, if you have any suggestions please post. Thanks, Lisa.

One time when I was about 7(so that was many years ago) I was at the doctor and he told my mom that I was "obese". At that time I thought that he had told my mom that I was "a beast". I had never heard the word obese before that so I guess I heard words that I could understand but I do know that even to this day I prefer the word fat because somewhere deep inside obese still makes me feel like a beast. It just takes little words and comments to or about a child that can effect them for years. So parents please don't hurt your child with words because those words are the ones that build up inside and cause such unnecessary pain. Don't think about what parts of your childs' body are "too big" instead think about how much you love them and how devastating it would be to be without them. Then take a stand for them, let them know what it is about them that you love and cherish. Let them...

If there is a wonderful song or poem that has always made you think of them let them know. I wrote the lyrics down to "If I Could" by Regina Belle and gave them and a cd of the song to my son few years ago. I know that he cherishes them even to this day. Every once in awhile when we are driving somewhere and it is just the two of us I put my copy of the song in the player and he knows that I adore him no matter what. Fill your childs life with love, support and a healthy lifestyle for all. Let them know how important they are to you and show that in any way possible even if it seems like a corny thing to do.

Hi folks I need help with my daughter. She is around 350lbs and all of it seems to be in her lower half. She has somthing like a 80inch waist and a massive rear end. She plays soccer with my son who is 6 but she is just to big to really move alot so she just sits on the ground infront of the goal. Her big sister is a chearleader and does some modeling so she is always so jelous. I dont think her health is much of an issue at this point because the doctor tells me shes fine healthily its just that all she can fit into is a pair of 9X sweats and a massive T shirt. She wears normal close to school, but usualy u can see her belly becasue most shirts dont cover her. Is there any athletic activities that you recomend for a girl with such a big waist and bottom because he thighs make it almost impossible for her to walk very long. We have a indoor pool, but she doesnt really like to swim and im not around alot to help her with stuff usualy our maids do most of the cooking and things of that sort. Could youall give me some advice.
worried in Flordia.
