Patience had her party at school. We discussed what would be a healthy choice. If there can be on a day filled with candy and sweet goodies.
She was allowed to have one treat.Yes that may sound mean to alot of people. But we are trying to teach her it's all about choices. Explaining to her the other kids are not affected with sweets and high carb foods they way her body is. Then say no thank you for the rest.
When I picked her up from school she said Mom I have some bad news. We played a game and the prizes were candy bars. And handed it over and said Momma those things are bad for you I do not want it. I know candy is cheap but why can't it be stickers or something small? Please know I never ask her to hand me the candy she wanted to give it to me because she just did not want it.
Such a sweetheart.
She amazes me everyday.
The song is by Taylor Swift, I think of all my children everytime i hear it.
Patience looks AMAZING, you should be so proud of that smart strong girl you have there! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you very much Ellie. She is still overweight for her age but no longer in the danger zone. Your very sweet :)
