What's the point?
They go on about pressure put on kids by having photoshopped models on all adverts and then they go and decide to weigh them in school.
I have an 11 year old daughter who didn't want to go to school on weigh in day because she didn't want to do it. Thinking back I should have let her have the day off but she went in and did it.
Now we have a letter saying 'your child is overweight'.
She eats healthy, is very active but is a bit chubby, that's just her shape. Her sister was exactly the same and once she shot up at 13/14 she lost the chub and now at 19 she is naturally slim.
Me and her mum are 37&38 and are both 'normal'.
I'm not one for wrapping them in cotton wool but FFS, telling a kid who knows they are chubby that they are overweight is pointless and out of order. I won't be showing her the letter or changing her lifestyle.
Rant over.
