[quote=Anonymous]Thank you all for the reassurance! OP here

I feel a little better hearing that others got it later. I am still surprised, as I was a swimmer and a healthy weight but got it before my 11 bday (I was glad neither girl got it that young!)

She is an athlete, but not a 2x per day swimmer. She is thin, but still in the healthy weight range for her age (of course an adult at that height and weight would be underweight). Both my kids have always been thin. I think that is another reason I was so surprised, my younger daughter is a similar height but still just shy of 90lb! (Again, if you look at the teen BMI chart, her BMI of about 15-16 is in the health range for a *tween*).

Any before anyone asks, they both have great appetites, est well, and are active, and their weights and growth curves are carefully checked yearly by the pediatrician. They've been consistent since early elementary school.

So thank you again for a reassurance. Will speak to the ped next month, but I'm glad no one flagged anything pressing.[/quote]
