[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]isn't a 21 bmi normal? i thought 20-25? but in any case: your son sounds fine, you sound like a nut.[b] what's going to cause more harm - being a little pudgy or a parent who won't shut the hell up about the kid being a little pudgy?[/quote][/b] This. I am a nurse and a long time ago I worked at an adolescent pediatric practice and there were 3 types of parents of over overweight kids. 1.) ones that didn't care/notice/were in denial 2.) ones that cared and lightly monitored by encouraging healthful choices and 3.) wack jobs like OP who constantly weighed their kid and make awkward comments about their waist size. Kids with type 1 and 2 were almost always fine but kids of type 3 parents ALWAYS ended up with a.) terrible relationships with their parents b.) eating disorders c.) emotional problems/depression.
