My Children's Challenges
emotional and social development
,
taking tests
,
writing
,
She has experienced a great deal of stressful life situations over the past two years. This lead to a self-esteem and confidence problem. She also has a problem with her weight. She has become overweight this last year and a half
,
which has also fed into self-esteem issues. Initially
,
she started second grade with many issues and poor grades. She ended the year with 2 A's
,
a B
,
and the rest S's and pluses! She really improved as she built her self esteem and confidence. However
,
we will now be moving and we are in a transitional phase at this point. Things will become more stable once we find a place to live (out of the City and into the Burbs)
,
but she just can't stop eating. I've recently lost a substantial amount of weight (which I gained due to illness over the last two years). I am leading by example
,
and buying healthy foods
,
but she just keeps eating and gets tired easy when we go out. It's only been a week since she has been out of school
,
but we try and go somewhere everyday (i.e.
,
Navy Pier
,
Planitarium
,
the Park
,
Festivals
,
or just walking and talking). I'd love suggestions for losing weight!
