My daughter, age 12, has a close friend who has gained a lot of weight over the past year. She wants to talk to her about it without being mean. My daughter is aware of her friend’s health risk and wants to help. The parents are overweight. Since this is such a sensitive subject, I do not know how to advise her. What should I tell her? If you have a parenting questions of your own, or if you’d like to answer a question already asked, send your questions or responses to Susan Smigielski Acker, editor, at ss.acker@cox.net.
