About book Part-Time Wife (1996)

To be clear, there was a lot I liked about this book, if it weren't for one storyline I would have given it 4 stars. I did not like the parts of the book that were about an overweight child, a 12 year old boy. In her capacity as nanny, the main character decided to put him on a diet. No physician that I have ever talked to would advocate putting a 20-lb. overweight 12 year old boy on a diet. They would talk about eating sensibly (sensibly is not making sure the cookies are low-fat, having all the syrup you want on pancakes, but no butter!) and moving more. Get the activity level up, the weight will come off or stabilize until they grow. Teaching a 12 year old to diet and overthink about what they eat is at best misguided and at worst dangerous and it bugged me, add in how bad the nutritional advice was made it even worse.
