My kindergartner told me yesterday that she wanted to be her twin sister because "she is skinny and I am fat" 😭 she has always been bigger than her twin and this year she has really started to notice this even though I've read books and told her that all bodies are good bodies. Yesterday her twin learned to ride a bike with no training wheels before she did (even though I was teaching them at the same time) and she started crying and then said that. It broke my heart. I told her that her ability to learn how to ride a bike had nothing to do with her body size. Ugh 💔
