ksmi, i say call him!
also, i'm in kind of a weird situation:
-the 12yo i nanny for has her friend over and i can hear them talking. her friend keeps talking about fat she is, how she has rolls on her stomach, etc. this girl is seriously the skinniest 13yo i've ever seen, like sticks and bones. now if it was just that one thing she said i wouldn't be too concerned, but she's over here hanging out all the time and lately i've noticed she hasn't been eating snacks like they usually do and she even refused dinner last week when i was feeing them all pizza. she would only drink some juice and i caught her reading the back of the container looking at the nutritional info. she was also talking about all these things she won't eat anymore because they make her "sick". i asked her what she ate and she said she refuses to eat anything other than mac n cheese and mashed potatoes. it seems like all that behavior would indicate an eating disorder or at least a pre-eating disorder, but i'm not sure if i've watched her enough to know for sure. would you guys say something to her parents or just let it be? her family lives right across the street from me so it'd be easy to talk to them, but also potentially awkward if they got defensive or anything.
