[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is this mostly genetic or over eating? I am constantly surprised by the number of overweight young children that I see when I am at my kids elementary school. I sincerely do not remember kids being overweight when I was growing up. My kids eat well 70% of the time but the other 30% of the time they eat like kids - junk food, sweets, etc. but they are all extremely thin. Probably genetics? They are active in sports and aren't into video games but I assume its mostly genetics. [/quote] My kids are like yours- yes, just genetics. It seems super common for boys to get a bit chunky around this age, and then shoot up big-time in a few years. Saw this over and over again with my older DS’ friends and teammates/classmates somewhere between 5th-7th grade or so (after being a little chubby for a few years prior). I wonder if it could be this, OP[/quote]
