[quote=Anonymous]Many kids go through awkward body phases during the puberty years - sometimes chubby, sometimes painfully skinny. Along with other issues. I think the best thing to do is focus on health, regardless of whatever their body is doing- sensible food most of the time, sensible amount of exercise. I would not be worried at that height and weight. I think I was effectively “heavier” at age 12-13 than I was at 31 with a toddler (probably 5lbs heavier and 2in shorter at 12-13). 5’4”” 130-135 to 5’5” 125ish. But my parents focused on health, regular activity, decent dietary habits and those stuck. Obesity would be a different story but this is not even close to that. My own kids were of the painfully skinny variety around puberty (take after DH’s side) but I don’t stuff them with milkshakes- just continued normal healthy diet for the most part. They are slowly filling out in their mid-late teens. [/quote]
