It was a revelation when I saw how care-free kids are when it comes to giving nick-names. It was when I had gone to drop my kid to the school bus, did I realise the plight of obese kids.
Calling someone Moti or Mot'e comes without much thought for kids. I wonder how that affects the confidence of the kids who are obese. It is worrisome that we see so many obese kids these days without enough sports, and with access to junk food.
It is a call to all those parents who are feeding their kids with no abandon. Parents may be sending their kids into a depressive shell, in the guise of giving love and providing for the kids. Parents need to realise the mental and physical trauma that the kids would go through, once they develop a habit of eating too much.
Introducing the consciousness of sports and fitness early in one's life not only help the kid stay healthy, but also teaches him/her team spirit and how to manage oneself (self-sufficient) in a group of people.
Parents beware! We eat to live. We dont live to eat.
