[quote=Anonymous]Kids rebound very quickly from injury and from being out of shape. It’s not like adults.I was in a terrible car accident as a teen and couldn’t do much but lie around for months. I gained weight and was out of shape from inactivity. As soon as I was able to return to sports, I did and quickly dropped the 30 lbs I gained. Now that I think back to that time, never did it cross my mind that I was not in good condition. I just started running again and rowing and within weeks I was in top condition. When you are young, physical recovery is almost effortless. As a middle-aged person, it’s hard to remember that. Lots of kids are really out of shape right now, mine included. Summer swim team and a return to activities will sort things out. Don’t pester him or focus on his weight. Just start to add back in activities and let him have fun again moving. [/quote]
