A diet book for kids

[Leanne]

kids also need to be taught how to accept failure and (and this is one the most important lessons) how to strive to overcome it.

That's the big lesson that seems to be missing for a lot of kids these days (and a lot of Gen Y-ers as well). Fear of failure is no excuse not to make an attempt -- and failure is no excuse to throw a tantrum.

There will always be chubby kids and I'm kind of happy about that, it takes some of the heat off the speckies :p -- but when lazy-arsed parents are over-feeding their kids to the point of giving them diabetes and heart disease before they hit puberty, something needs to change.
