[quote=Anonymous]My DD went through what I will describe now as a "pudgy" stage when she was about 9 years old. She was classified on the growth chart to be in the obese category. Looking at her you would not think obese but she was carrying extra weight. I remember the pediatrician recommending I make an appointment with the nutritionist. I never met with the nutritionist because DD had a growth spirt and grew 4 inches and the weight seemed to even itself out. She is almost 12 years old. DD is also super athletic and plays several spots so I think the sports coupled with the growth helped a lot. She also doesn't seem as hungry although she eats what she likes and I don't deprive her. Physical activity is key. My kids play a lot of sports all year round. At 9 your DS should be playing recreational or team sports. [/quote]
