[quote=Anonymous]Most 8-year-old boys don't feel this way. So, I'd consider whether he got teased for his weight. I'd try to deemphasize weight and just encourage him to be really active. Chances are good he'll hit a growth spurt and grow a couple of inches with little weight gain. Make sure he is really PLAYING ... not just sitting around playing video games. Lots of shooting hoops, tossing a frisbee, riding bikes. Make it all fun. [/quote]
