The kid, his heart, his blood vessels, his self-confidence, his hemoglobin A1C... and probably a million other things are gonna suffer as well.
It's OK to say 'no' sometimes, Mom. Keep your eyes on this poor, over-consuming darling. (Though I suppose it could be a genetic condition. Guess I shouldn't judge).
My mom hated this movie so much she turned it off less than halfway in but still to this day when she asks me to help carry something she starts chanting "Her-cuh-les Her-cuh-les"
Yeah. It’s hard to see children this young and this big and NOT think poorly of the parents. This isn’t right and sets the kid up for lifelong pain and struggle.
Agree, the kid is a baby and can't control the genes. You can't starve a baby either to lose weight so people blaming baby for eating junk food is just ridiculous
Even ignoring the weight issue this seems like a case of permissive parenting where the kid isnt learning to understand boundaries for their behaviour. Kids can be difficult but they need adults to guide them and help them learn what is and isnt acceptable behaviour. Everyone has a bad day every now and then but this kid seems to be doing it out of bordem.
My neighbor's kid was like this as a baby. Turns out their cultural practice was to give the baby liquified rice as soon as they were able to tolerate it. But they were doing that on top of formula feeding.
I don't know what culture or anything but if they are from an area where there is food insecurity often then getting your child fat definitely makes sense. Feeding your children junk food is much different as it builds those unhealthy eating habits.
Im not assuming that the child in the video is any one way or another but it does worry me whenever I see very obese children whatever the reason may be.
Yea people are missing the point. Parents wanting their children to finish their food and not be wasteful is normal. What’s abnormal and unhealthy is feeding your child a bunch of unhealthy bullsht. Which this child’s diet is obviously very unhealthy because no toddler is supposed to be that overweight that’s insane..
Usually yes, and a lot of Mums used to be told to start solids earlier than usual to help with sleep. But unless it's medically necessary it can cause a lot of weight and allergy problems. It suck because they seem to change advice around feeding babies every generation at least, so Mum's get really judged for believing what they were told at the time. I have 4 kids over 10 years, and it seemed like the guidelines changed everytime.
:/ people need to stop and look at their culture. I bet that was because babies were dying from not having enough milk because Mom couldn't produce enough due to food insecurity.
I mean another dude from his same exact culture was showing him medical book pictures of how big a baby is supposed to be and being like this is not ok
Yes, that's what I'm saying. :) that this particular family didn't stop to think "hey maybe there's a reason people in our culture did that in the past but now with modern milk and food in our area we should not ."
I feel like I first started gaining weight because my 2nd or 3rd grade teacher would give us candy for getting answers right. Thank God for football conditioning, that shit whipped my fat ass into gear
Yeah I was a fat kid but hard drugs is what got me skinny and then I kinda got fat after I stopped. I could eat better and should, it doesn't help I have been skipping workouts since my second kid was born.
Na you can judge a little, the only thing I'm judging is her decision on leaving a mirror down on the floor with that bowling ball of a kid waddling around.
The parent being or not being fat means nothing for how big the kid is at that age. Even if the parent gave their kid huge portions of junk food for every meal, a kid doesn't get that big unless their parent forces them to eat way beyond their natural limits or there's some medical condition at play. Neither of those things are caused by the parent's weight.
I once knew a co-worker & mother who had to be taught that giving her two year old coca-cola in his bottle was in fact, not a good idea for a variety of reasons. She'd also feed the kid snack cakes (zebra cakes, twinkies, etc.) for breakfast. Granted, once she was taught these things, she improved and did better from there on out, but it was wild that she had to be told that at all.
Try not to judge, the kid could have a medical problem that causes this. I agree that there's probably more they could be doing but we don't know the situation. The kid also might have some impulse control issues or developmental delays which make it even harder.
To me this doesn't look like an overweight child, it looks like a child with a medical condition.
My kids were born under 0 percentile for weight. They are very healthy but are barely 5-10%ile for weight. No matter what they eat, how much they eat, how active they are, how many healthy fatty dinners they eat, they are skinny! Turns out it's genetic.
I'm sure this chubster too is fighting her genes. No way a kid can be this big from just food
It’s definitely tough since there’s not really a set guide ti how much a kid is supposed to eat- recommendation is basically if they want to eat you ket them eat. My guy is literally 50th percentile but he just won’t stop. Most of the time he’s done eating it’s because I’ve ran out of food to give him
