DC1 was around 70 lbs at 5 ft tall. He's 5'2 now and 74 lbs as a 4th grader. He's very tall and thin.

Mine is a girl, but she is SUPER skinny and 73 pounds. She is tall and has an enormous head. Weight is pretty meaningless in the abstract.

73 pounds and 56 inches.

Are you worried about their weight?

Why should she be?

Because they are obese.

50lbs is obese for a 47" child?? It's perfect - absolutely proportional. I can't quite visualize 80lbs on 56" but it doesn't ring as obese. Man, what a jerk.

A kid who is 56" (4'8") & 80lbs isn't even overweight, never mind obese. 80lbs is probably quite a bit more than most third graders weigh but this kid is also quite a bit taller than most third graders.

How tall is he? Depending on his height &, to a lesser degree, his build he may be just as skinny (or skinnier) at 63" as some of these other PP's kids are at 49 lbs (or whatever).

My super skinny 5th grader ds weighs 62 pounds and is healthy. I'd say your kid is doing just fine.

There's no way for you to know whether or not the first PP's kid's weight is "fine" without knowing his height & historical growth curve. The fact that he weighs more than your 6th grader -- who has a completely different genetic make up -- is irrelevant.

How is that possible? How tall is she?

Totally possible! I was the tallest girl in my kindergarten class, and I remember weighing 50 pounds. As an adult, I am 5'9" and 127 pounds.
