I am really concerned about my step grandson who is extremely overweight in fact I am sure he would be clasified as obese. His mum is a single parent and is fairly healthy herself but seems to allow her son to eat what he wants and says she cant force him to exercise (he spends most of his free time on a computer but that's a whole other story!). I have a really good relationship with my stepdaughter and I have raised my concerns about her son and suggested a slimming group etc and while she has acknowledged he's a bit chubby!!! she feels diets are wrong and children shouldn't be brainwashed (she feels growing up that's all her mum spoke about). I am really concerned for his wellbeing and the fact he is going to senior school in September and feel he may be bullied. Also if I'm honest I'm ashamed to admit this but I avoid going out with them as I am embarrassed about his weight and feel are judging us. Any help on how I can advise her
