Re: [Everything doTERRA] slim and sassy for children

Thank you Sally! Your thoughts are exactly what I was thinking! My daughter is a little thicker around the waist but my 2 boys are pencil thin. I have told my daughter pretty much everything you just said and she is fine with it. I tried to explain this to my friend but she is just feeling so stressed over her daughter being teased that she just wants to help her in some way. I know when I have been at her house, that it seems like her daughter is a big snacker and she tells me that her boys are very active outside with bikes, scooters, trampoline etc but when her daughter plays with her friends they mostly sit around a play with barbies or dolls so they are less active. She does keep her involved in sports so I am sure that heips. I do feel for her but also I think "dieting" at such a young age sets her up for problems in the future. She said that she was not going to tell her daughter that she was using the slim and sassy, she was just going to add it in a capsule and give it to her with the rest of her pills in the morning. She is taking the LLV which I told her is great. Anyway thank you for reinforcing what I was allready thinking :-)

Just my two cents...1. It is hard growing up, we all are challenged by something that helps build our character. 2. We are all individuals with different body types regardless of how well we eat.

 

9 is a young age to be dieting especially since her diet is healthy. With my children, when they face different trials I encourage them to focus on the fact that God made them special, unique, with their own talents, strengths and even weaknesses which are actually future strengths in-the-works. Encourage her to grow in this opportunity she is now experiencing. Embrace the challenges. Life is full of challenges. It is how we approach them, how we set the habits for our life. She is still growing and developing. Her body may need those extra pounds for when she stretches out! :0)

 

I would recommend oils that help her be happy with herself like bergamot. I think just applying it to the back of her neck or feet is good. Diffuse it. etc.

 

I am sure others have other helpful tips too.

 

Best of luck.

A friend of mine just called and was wondering if she could give her daughter, who just turned 9 the slim and sassy oil in a capsule.  She said that her daughter is starting to get teased for her weight and she doesn't know what to do about it.  I know they are an active family who eats healthy!  All of them are skinny as a rail accept her daughter who, I wouldn't consider overweight, just a little "chunky"  She said that she is over the 100th percentile in height and weight.  Since kids are starting to make comments to her, it is really starting to affect her self esteem.  Is it safe for her to give her the slim and sassy in a capsule and if so, how much and how often should she give it to her.  She was also wandering if she could make her a smoothy with the slim and sassy powder to give her as a healthy snack option.  I just got my order of the slim and sassy kit, I know I won't use it all so I would like to give her some if it is something that she can use to help her daughter.  I am feeling a little hesitant since she is so young so I told her I would ask all of you what you think.

 

Thank you!
