[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hold up.  DH is convinced DD is overweight?  What is his OPINION based upon?  What does your pediatrician say?

Eating healthier is one thing, fat shaming or body shaming a healthy weight / BMI kid is another thing entirely.[/quote]

She is overweight according to her BMI (which our pediatrician told us not to worry about considering it’s not reliable for kids), but she is heavy and has a belly. Dh is convinced she is overweight in large part because of her diet. I don’t agree (I think it’s a combo of pre-puberty weight gain, genetics and diet, plus not being super active although she’s far from sedentary). There is NO fat shaming or even discussion of weight in our house, we just try to be healthy overall. [/quote]

I'm not convinced about the body shaming, even if it's behind her back.  This is a slippery slope.  The pediatrician said not to worry.  Also, some skinny kids have bellies.  Sometimes, it's constipation, sometimes it is pre-pubescence as you mention.[/quote]
