April Is National Child Abuse Prevention Month - 30 Tips and Facts in 30 Days

With certainty, fattening kids up by making them overweight/obese is child abuse.

Nutritional child abuse is the most common form of child abuse of which we are aware. About one-third of all kids are overweight or obese. April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month in the USA. To help these children, who are arguably the most abused on earth, Fitness Watch will offer 30 tips and facts – one for each day in April – directed at saving the children. Even if you are not from the USA, these facts and tips can help you and your children, too.

Today’s Tip – Do not fall victim to the whining of hopeless, ignorant naysayers.

There are people out there trying their hardest to guarantee that your kids fail.

What they do is tell kids that “such and such is impossible.”

In the weight debate, this usually takes the form of “having the figure of a model is not possible.”

The point is not to debate the merits of looking like a model. The point is to protect your kids from people who tell them what is or is not possible for them.

For example, there is a moron politician who wants to outlaw the sale of Barbie dolls claiming “such toys influence girls to place too much importance on physical beauty, at the expense of their intellectual and emotional development.”

(To the best of my knowledge, male action figures are not targeted.)

The next thing you know, someone will say that it is not possible for a guy who is half White, half Black to become President.

Guess we will just have to see. Maybe someday…

In any event, it is 100% possible for kids to get muscular, it is 100% possible for kids to get lean, it is 100% possible for kids to develop trained-appearing bodies, it is 100% possible for kids to be nutritionally fit.

They just have to do what it takes for them to achieve their goal, as anyone else would have to with any goal.

And no one should stand in their way.
