And as a good parent these tests shouldn’t concern you.
The tests are a way of finding bad parents.

It’s really not always the parents fault. Between one of my sisters and I, growing up she was the over-weight one and I was the thin one (we’re a year apart in age). We never ate fast food growing up. In a single parent home we didn’t have the money for it. She and I were always out doors or doing something active. She basically just had a slower metabolism than I did. I still can eat like a horse and not worry too much about the weight, where she basically has to watch everything she eats. Children at age 4 should under no circumstances be subjected to body image issues so young. It’s beyond their control at that age. People should not make them feel inferior because of it.I agree AW it is all down to differing metabolisms as per you and your sister , and those that say its just down to bad parenting really just talk @ these things without any real knowledge on the subject.
Sometimes yes it is down to incorrect knowledge and info and in some cases some people are just lazy, but you shouldnt generalize because it really isnt the case.
And if the 4 year olds in peoples worlds have that sort of vanity, i would be truly worried @ THEIR parents they are nothing more than babies fgs any vanity is installed into them and who do 4 year olds learn off ? their parents !!! hmmm far more worrying than obesity anyone can diet bit harder to change very worrying expectations of young people(the anorexics or binge eating teenagers of the future ) due to the vanity of their peers

I’m a good parent Owen, my son isn’t at school anymore but it’d concern me if he was, for the reasons iv’e already said, he was in fact underweight. Would there then have been questions as to why!? I can understand Gyps concerns too, and I think she has very valid points. Tests such as these can badly affect children who are of a sensitive nature to begin with.As for your theory of, ”if your a good parent, youv’e nothing to worry about”. I soooooo disagree!! What your saying is like, oh well, lets punish everyone and that way we’ll find the real culprits. :roll:
I have a theory. Lets say,,,,,,,,,,make all the McDonalds, Chicken (or in my area, Pidgeon) fast food outlets, close, when the kids are coming out of school. In the area I live in, all you see in kids on their way home from school with either McDonalds, or KFC, leaving a trail of debri behind them!!! It’s not because these people can’t cook, they’re just too dam lazy!!!
If we didnt have fat children we would never of had the truffle shuffle from the goonies!
kids weight changes simple as that
and yes some parents see the frozen option as a cheaper one, (and an easier one leaves more time to use the internet and watch tv etc)
but come on not at age 4!! ok if they are getting pory and all they do is eat then sort it out! make them diet! stop them having sweets!
apart from the odd medical condition any child who comes home crying because he or she have been called fatty by the other kids has only their parents to blame
