很多女生被旁人說胖，通常心裡都會很受傷。英國一名5歲身材圓滾女童日前遭到同學取笑「好胖」，她不但沒有生氣，反而很冷靜地回應對方的嘲笑，讓同學乖乖閉嘴！她成熟的回應讓母親很自豪，也引起網友的共嗚。
據英國《獨立報》報導，5歲的卡貝爾（Cambelle）在上游泳課時，露出了小肚腩而被同學取笑「好胖」，於是回家告訴媽媽艾莉森（Allison Kimmey）。聽到女兒身材被取笑，艾莉森原本很擔心卡貝爾的信心受挫，不過女兒的成熟回應讓她立即鬆了口氣：「我告訴她說，我不是胖，這是身上的脂肪。而且每個人身上都有脂肪，這沒問題的。」同學聽到她的回答後，只說了一句「噢，好吧！」便默默離開。
艾莉森對於女兒的回答感到又驚又喜。卡貝爾接著說：「之前我也笑過媽媽還有哥哥胖，覺得這樣不對。」艾莉森才發現，過去女兒也犯過一樣的錯，當時身為媽媽的她，不僅沒生氣還跟女兒好好解釋、告訴卡貝爾：「無論一個人身上有多少脂肪，都不該被說好還是壞。」這番對話也成為卡貝爾的價值觀。
艾莉森把這段母女的對話貼在社群平台上，並表示，「這是家庭教育的成功」。她認為，身為父母不能保證兒女可以活在一個無害的社會裡，但是如何幫助他們用同理心、謙卑，並以愛的眼光看別人，是父母可以做到的。
她自豪地說：「我很開心女兒不是用受傷或仇恨的心態面對，她處理的甚至比大多成人都還好。父母們，你們準備好成為小孩的榜樣了嗎？」該貼文也引起2萬多名網友的按讚共嗚。（艾以琳/綜合外電報導）
•My daughter told me that someone called her fat today.• ____________________ Cambelle: “Mama I need to tell you something” Me: “Okay baby, what’s up?”” C: “Yesterday at practice my shirt came up a little bit and my tummy was showing. The girl next to me looked at me and said that my tummy was fat.” >>Insert immediate mama bear reaction in my head’s internal dialogue “Oh no, here we go” I thought to myself<<, but I said: “Oh really? And what did you say to her?” C: “I told her that I’m not fat, I HAVE fat. And that everybody has fat. And I told her it’s okay to have fat.” >>Insert happy dance parenting win<<: “Wow Cambelle! I am SO proud of you for the way you handled that situation. Fat is not a bad word, I don’t think she was trying to hurt your feelings. It was so brave of you to help her understand that all people have fat, but that no one IS fat. And that it doesn’t make you a bad person if you have more or less of it. Did she have anything to say?” C: “She just said ‘oh, okay'” >>I couldn’t believe that my 5 year old daughter had been able to handle a situation with more grace than most 30 year olds.<< C: “Remember that time I told you that you were fat?” Me: “Yes baby, I do.” C: “I’m sorry I did that” Me: “Its’ okay baby, the most important thing is that you learned and now you can teach others and help change the world” ________________ Children aren’t born with hate inside them. They learn words from their environments and the things they see/hear, and they try them on for size. I can’t prepare my daughter for all of life’s situations, but I can help her to be a voice of compassion, humility and love. •And to anyone that will undoubtedly say that this is “promoting obesity,” please understand that preventing childhood bullying before it can even start is not a matter of weight, but of character.• Just do you babes Xoxo Allie & Cambelle
