[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD just turned 8 and is 55 lbs and 51 inches. She is slim, but not much smaller than all her classmates. Most of the girls in her class are of similar size. I don’t have issues with my daughter, but I would not log my kid get to 300+ lbs like someone suggested above. How can this be good parenting? [/quote] Yes, everyone likes to post about their petite, skinny daughters. Do you not understand that some girls are well into puberty at 9? [/quote] Yes, but my point is that if my daughter were a lot bigger, I would not let her eat whatever she wanted. Someone up thread argued that it’s ok if your kid ends up 300+ lbs. it is NOT. Of course I would love my kid whatever her size, but isn’t my job as a parent to keep her healthy and happy?[/quote]
