Terrible Mom Gets Book Deal, Activity Guidelines for Young Kids and Loving Your VBAC

What we’re reading today:

1. In case you missed it on our Facebook page yesterday, that mom who fat-shamed her 7-year-old into dropping 16 lbs. has been given a book deal. What do you suppose the book’s called? How to Provide Your Daughter With a Lifelong F*cked Up Relationship With Food? Please Buy My Book So I Can Afford My Daughter’s Future Therapy Bills? No More Pizza Fridays: My Daughter Will Thank Me Later… Maybe? Actually, the working title is Heavy.

2. The right way to prevent childhood obesity? Encourage kids to move more! New recommendations say kids up to 4-years-old need three hours of activity each day. For babies this means tummy time and reaching and grabbing things (your hair, necklaces, earrings) and for toddlers it means crawling, walking, go up stairs and just generally playing. Once kids hit five, they should have a solid hour of “energetic play” which includes running, biking, skipping, jumping and sports-type activities.
