He is 11 years old and already learns the power of having a father who is in his corner.
Jon, a loving girl’s father, went viral after posting a video explaining how he got up for his daughter when his mother -in -law commented on his stomach.
It is a perfect example of how parents can and should close the “harmless” observations that can damage a child’s body image.
“It is entering an age when the body image is very sensitive,” said Jon.
“Pudgy Belly”
The family had been enjoying fried chicken for dinner, which came with a side portion of pickles. It was when his mother -in -law made a comment that he did not feel well with Jon or his wife.
“My mother -in -law made some strange comment on how my eldest daughter should eat more pickles so that I did not have such a stinky belly,” he said.
With more than two million views, it is clear that its story had an agreement.
Many people have been at the end of similar comments and just as many want to protect their children.
After the comment, Jon’s wife immediately said to his mother, “Oh, don’t say, mother.”
But, based on the expression of her daughter’s face, the damage had been made.
“He made a face and that left me out,” he said.
“I went to my mother-in-law and told him that he cannot say that in my house. He can never say anything like this to my daughter and that he damages his own image.”
Jon had been aware that the body image was already a concern for his daughter after expressing disgusting admission. I wanted to join the court because “I didn’t want to look so fat compared to his classmates.”
“He does not like to run anything, but he thought that maybe added physical activity would help him look more at his classmates,” Jon shared.
He was not about to leave, knowing what he already had in his daughter’s mind.
“My mother -in -law reacted doing a little down what he said. He said how,” Well, it’s a harmless comment. It means nothing, “he explained.
“It is not harmless. It is very detrimental. Comments like these is how insecurity begins in a young age, which becomes a much more detrimental thing as it grows up.”
“Thank you for planting -for your daughter”
His wife supported his posture, thanking him later for calling his mother, insisting that he was not too hard and that the message was important.
Jon’s relationship with his mother-in-law is positive and knows that he is a fabulous grandmother, so he was comfortable enough to call her.
“I must say that my relationship with my thousand is fantastic, and that I love and love my girls. However, he will say meaningless things like this from time to time, and always call it,” he wrote in his comments section to clarify.
The comments section was filled with praise for how it managed the situation.
“Your daughter will always remember how you planted for her,” a person wrote.
“As the daughter of Asian parents who treated her life, thank you for planting your daughter,” another commented.
A third added, “Some parents are not aware.”
In general, Jon hopes that his mother -in -law reconsider comments like this in the future.
“Hopefully this will cease this kind of comment from my mother -in -law,” he said.
Jon also touched the base with his daughter: “I told her:” Hey, you are a beautiful young man, do not listen to comments like that “and that was.”
Being father of a preteen girl is scary, but Jon has the perfect attitude, exemplifying a positive relationship from the father -dusk we can all admire.
“I am scared for this next phase of his life,” he admits.
At least he knows that his father has his back.
