the point is a fat kid knows they shouldn’t be fat
Not at age 4 they dont.
They are, hopefully, too naive to even think about it.

KIDS ARE ONLY FAT BECAUSE OF LAZY PARENTING
children that get anorexia is a whole different ball game dosen’t belong on the same thread
I disagree.
And you know i speak from experience.
If children are led to believe they should be a certain size – and fat testing is only the beginning of this – it can in some instances, lead to anorexia.
I do not agree with this testing at all.
Yep, definitely slower, but gives me time to go and make a cuppa inbetween posting! 8)

Oh jeeze, don’t get me started on this issue.
As the proud mother of a beautiful 16year old daughter, who has had anorexia (and been extremely ill with it) for the past 3 years i abhor the thought of ‘fat testing’ in schools.
Let children be children. Just because a child is ‘podgy’ or overweight at age 4, does not mean he/she will grow to be obese. Children’s shapes and sizes change as they grow. It’s all part of development.
But whatever you do, DO NOT instill weight issues into their heads at such an early age. Fat testing is doing exactly this. By all means educate them, (and their parents), sensibly on nutrition, but do not make it ‘personal’ by individual testing.
There is enough pressures on children to look right, dress right, have the latest gadgets, be the right size, have the right hair colour etc today, without having weight issues forced upon them at school.
I feel very strongly about this issue and find it very difficult to put into words just exactly how angry I am about the whole thing.
And yes Drivel, you’re right, it’s better to have an overweight child than an anorexic one.
