Rosalind's Inbox: The Pool Party Problem

Rosalind answers a question from a mom whose son is overweight, shy, and very anxious about attending an upcoming school pool party to get to know his future classmates. Should she make him go so that he can get to know people, or respect the fact that he's uncomfortable and let him skip it?

if u can, talk to ur son a lot, teach him he sould be proud of himself, of wat he has; some of his age children have no food, dont have school, dont have good parent like u so, apreciates life: 2), if u can, let him join summer activities where he wil enjoy and loss weight (summer gym class). Most childrens develop lose their self-steem cuze their parents ignore the seriousness of thier concerns; Tel him he'll be unhappy 4 rest of his life if he doesn't start new aways to change his life style

I suggest u ought to explain to him abt. the idea behind beauty, ugly, skiny $ fatnes r abstract $ has no real defintion:Ex; some consider fatnes as ugly while others eat alot to get fat cuze thy consider as beauty. U should let him go to parties: the more he stays away from parties the more his concerns grow $ his self-steem deminish cuze he starts think "u stay from these events cuze u r fat and wealthless:he will develop antisocial behave

so encourage him aparticipate alot activities
