If your kid calls someone fat, you can totally salvage the moment. You’ve just got to be cool.
Okay, your kid called someone fat. That’s super embarrassing. We know as adults that commenting on the size of someone’s body is considered rude, so watching our kids do it makes us cringe. The good news is, as adults, we also know that kids are still learning. No reasonable adult will flip out on a parent whose kid has commented on the way they look. A kid asked me why I was “a circle” once. It didn’t hurt my feelings. It made me chuckle. I am a circle, and that was a reasonable question.
If we start approaching body differences with matter-of-fact answers, we might have a shot at making the world better for the next generation. While they’re trying to figure it out, you might suffer through an embarrassing moment or two. It’s not the best part of parenting, but it doesn’t have to be a big deal. Hang in there. Your kids are doing the best they can, and so are you.
