In my experience, I've seen so many young kids that are overweight/obese that face social stigmas, or even worse, they're getting bullied for their weight/size. It's really sad to see this happening, especially when it's kids you care about, but the worst part about it is that it ostracizes kids. The other day I read that it can even result in something like the child not going to college.
Have you been able to find communities for your child to lose weight with peers like them? Or even just connect over similar challenges without necessarily trying to lose weight?
Has that made a difference in how they're doing?
As someone who's worked with kids in the past, it feels like there are not enough safe spaces for overweight/obese kids so I'm curious what other parents may have experienced.
