Chances are if you notice your child has a
weight problem then he notices too. If you have ever battled
weight as an adult you know how frusterating it is, how much will power and self control it takes. Imagine being 9 and not having the will power, the tools, the resources or the maturity needed to make that decision. I'm willing to bet he is teased about it at school as well, lets face it kids can be terribly cruel. He is probably angry and rude with you because of his frusteration.
