[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No big deal. I don't even understand why you are freaking out.[/quote] Because according to her doctor, she is officially overweight. I shouldn't be concerned about having an overweight child?[/quote] I think this depends. Is this the first time she has measured as overweight? If yes, then watch and wait. She could be gaining weight for a big growth spurt. I did at that age. Not to mention, BMI isn't very accurate for children. If she continues a trend of being overweight for several years then you have a problem. But, does she LOOK overweight? She dances a lot - could that weight be muscle?[/quote]
