[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - thank you everyone for the helpful advice. I really appreciate it. I will concede my daughter is not overweight but my concern comes from what appears to be a major shift in weight. I don't know how much she gained but it looks substantial to me. So it's not that she is overweight, it's that she looks like there was a huge weight gain and that concerns me.

I like the idea of providing more structure in meals, eating together more, letting her choose an activity to do outside, having her do chores if she chooses to stay inside, etc... I also would never mention weight to her.

10 yr old DD does have an older sibling she can play with and be active with. We have the opposite problem with her older sibling. Her older sibling is underweight and we are working with a Dr. to help her. She is on meds that she needs to function but the meds suppress her appetite so it's a whole other issue. [b]She is 12 and 5'6 and 86 lbs,[/b] I worry about her daily. I don't want either of my kids to be on the extreme ends. I just want healthy and happy kids. [/quote]

Yeah. YOu need to focus on the 12 yo. The 10 yo is perfectly normal.[/quote]
