Hi my lotters, I did not log in to my lost for the last two days. My 5 years old has a loose stools, and keep going in & out restroom. He's a plump boy, not skinny, but also not too fat. He likes to eat especially his favorite foods : junk foods (Mc Donalds, KFC, sort of), all with chocolate (bread, dessert, candy, etc). When he see his favorite, he will eat it by himself. No need to told him to eat :-D However the last few days, he obsessed to be a skinny boy, just like his older brother. So the last 2 days, he did not eat dinner.. But he still sleep with air conditioner on. the result of it : in the morning, he got stomached and keep in and out bathrooms with loose stool. I do not realize that 5 years old already start to thinking about his body? what will happen he's 10 years old or 15 years old? Are children these days are far more mature than my time? anyone has same experience like this?

If your son avoids junk food /chocolate and takes food prepared at home he will naturally become slim and healthy.

yes. that's one great suggestion. Probably the child is addicted to junk food. My sister was. I have helped her out of it. Can't always fulfill their demands!

Not all children are mature minded, I admit the food they eat makes their minds more advanced.

It's all because of the people around. How can a child be inspired without any inspiration? Probably someone has been body-shaming him!

@dreamerby Then it will be me to blame as well, cos I like to call him "my chubby boy" and he did see his belly so big. We need to say that, cos something, he can not stop eating

@Andini I think it show how intelligent these children are. Not easy to make a sensible reason. And he did give sensible reason just by repeating our advices :-)

@andini True, my 5 yo always have reason whenever he do not want something. I recall if I do not want something when I was a kid, just say " do not want!"

Yes kids these days are mature at small age than us in our childhood. It's good that he is conscious of his body. Junk foods are always the reason for bad health so we should avoid them as much as we can and maybe he knows it.

@sjvg1976 agreed, i only give him junk food like biweekly when he really not feeling well and do not want to eat other food. Then no choice,I'll buy McD fried chicken then
