[quote=Anonymous]I just used the kids BMI calculator and apparently my VERY skinny 5 year old is in the 82nd percentile for BMI. (He is not tall). This is just below "overweight" My average (certainly not chubby) 2.5 year old is in the 89th percentile for BMI. I was firmly in the "your kid's fat" camp, until I looked at this. I can't believe that my 5 year old can be "close" to overweight. the only possible explanation I have is that they have huge heads (heavy perhaps?) They certainly aren't muscular or even stocky. the only descriptor for my 5 year old's body type would be skinny.[/quote]
