Guest guest Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 Last night, my 8-year old who has seemingly been content with being vegan all his life told me he is tired of eating differently than other people. I explained to him that the reason we eat the way we do is because I want what is best for him. I also told him that when he is " of age, " he can choose to eat otherwise, but as long as I am responsible for what he eats, I will only provide healthy foods for him. Of course, all these words meant nothing to him! Unfortunately, none of the people we associate with eat like us, which I guess adds to the pressure. Ironically, however, an increasingly number of people that we come in contact with want to learn more about our diet and want to incorporate it in their lives but find it hard to do so. Even knowing this, doesn't make my son feel better. Has anyone else experienced this with their child? Also, are there any children stories that you can recommend that might help a child with being different? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
