Kids slimming down? Between 9-10

[Anonymous]

My 9 year old hasn’t gained weight since his birthday in May. He’s about 77 lbs, tall, not an inch of fat on his body. Any ideas of how to help him gain or has anyone experienced this?

This describes my 5 ft tall 11 year old who is 72 lbs pretty well. He has my husband's body type, and my husband says he started to gain wait when he was 30. I think he was kidding.

I wouldn’t worry about it. My 14 yo weighs 80 lbs. Some kids are just thin. My DH is very thin and our kids take after him.

Maybe? My own kids put on a lot of weight between 9-12, then it evened out once their growth spurt kicked in. But some kids just remain super thin.
