I feel so badly for her. It's a very hard thing to get bigger, isn't it? Especially when you are uncomfortable in your surroundings. And we always worry about our babies, no matter how old they get, don't we? ((((Hugs)))) Ahhhh, poor thing. I feel so badly for her. It’s a very hard thing to get bigger, isn’t it?

My brother was like that and my Grandmother gave him a "wishing stone" also known as a worry stone. She told him to rub on it every time he got worried or afraid. You can get all kinds of shapes. Hearts, stars, even just a plain pretty river rock. It gives them something to hold on to when they feel like they're being overwhelmed. It helped my brother. When I was in high school it was really bad for me. For the first year I sat in the library and waited until lunch was over. Finally the librarians invited me to sit in the back and eat. It took me a while to find a group I was really comfortable with. *hugs* Eating with her at lunch would probably help for a little while.

He is one of those kids who gets sick to the stomach just by SMELLING something that is off. It got so bad the first year of school that I was picking him up at least once a week. I kept explaining it to the office personnel because this was something the doctor could do nothing about. They ended up letting him eat outside of the cafeteria, since that is what triggered his problem. My middle girl is in the first grade and has never had an eating issue, but she is SO thin! You can actually count ribs in the back and front! Her doctor told me she has zero body fat (it cannot be measured) and that she is so thin, when they listen to her heart they can hear the blood "whooshing" through her!

She really is a cutie, so it must be hard to know she's not enjoying all the attention. What does she say when you've tried talking to her about it, letting her know that people just want to be her friend? Does she have one or two friends that she really likes to hang out with? I don't have kids, so I'm out of my element here, and I was one of the unpopular kids in school, so I don't have any personal experience to give you. But it must make you feel a little better knowing people are looking out for her. I hope she feels more comfortable soon. It's hard on moms to watch their kids unhappy. Hugs to you all.
