Dear Jill,
Diets make me Anxious
Bob
Vancouver
Dear Jill,
This is hard to write about. I am quite over weight and I am getting teased at school. I have tried losing weight but this makes me anxious and when I get anxious I eat more. What do you suggest
Bob
Dear Bob,
This is a good question, Bob. I have found that getting help from Weight Watchers or exercising with friends is the best approach.
Take care

Starting School - big Concerns
Suzy

Dear Jill,
My son is about to start school. His name is Tim. I am afraid he will be teased for his size. What can I do to help.
Suzy from Calgary
Dear Suzy,
You should talk to the principal about your concerns, The school can probably link Tim up with some older students to mentor him and look out for him.
Take care,
Jill
