What should I say to my 5 year old nephew who keeps commenting about my weight?
My sister-in-law and brother are naturally thin. When I'm alone with their son, he starts making comments about my weight. I'm a little over weight, but I'm not extremely fat. I'm also not as thin as his parents. He's only 5 years old, so at first I laughed his comments off as a joke. But, now he's doing it every time I'm with him. I want him to know that he shouldn't be saying things about people. I'm afraid he thinks it's okay and he's going to say things to someone else who is over weight. During our last conversation, he said things like: "Your arms are so big. Why do you eat so much? You're cheeks are sooo puffy. Are you going to blow up into a hippo?" Humorous but humiliating. How do I respond to this? I know I could talk to his mother about this, but I want to address it when it's happening. What do I say to him?
OK you should bring it up to his parents, so they can tackle it to.Just tell him that your feelings are getting hurt and that it makes you upset that he talks to you that way. Also you can explain that everyone is built different and that if everyone was built the same the world would be boring cause everyone would look the same. When his parents come back tell them what you said and that should get their attention. My three year old use to do the same thing and I had to sit down with him and have that talk. He doesn't mean it to be mean he just is trying t figure out why people are different
