My daughter has started obsessing over the idea that she is fat. This is a slippery slope and a trigger for me as I went on my first diet when I was 10. What is the healthy way to approach this?
Is my 5.5yo daughter old enough to go on a class excursion without me or her dad?
I’ve signed 5.5yo daughter for an art class starting next week that lasts two weeks. The class is from 9am-3pm at an art studio. I’ve met the teacher and I really like her. The class can have up to 15 kids ages 5-12.
At noon, they walk to a park that’s four blocks from the art studio and eat lunch and play for an hour and a half. My daughter has never been anywhere without either me or her dad or grandparents and I’d told the art teacher that I was going to pick her up at noon and take her out to lunch instead of letting her go to the park with the other kids. I can’t help but think she’s too little to go somewhere without me and not have me there in case she needs something. What say you, Lina?
