[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you do realize boys fluctuate in weigh all the time. They eat a ton, gain weight, and have a growth spurt. Puberty enhances that. I have 4 kids and have never weighed them and at their pediatrician appointments, I don't even care. You continue down this path, he will have a severe eating disorder. Would you do this if your child was a girl? Do you know how little self esteem pre-teens and teens have? SUPPORT him. Stop tearing him down. If he exercises each day, let him be. [/quote] Some human beings gain weight really easily. Some stay thin no matter how much they eat. Maybe the OP is going to equip her child to grow up with a solid understanding of how to avoid being overweight, even though his peers can eat more than he does and stay thin. Why is that "tearing him down." Not everybody has weight issues because of their mommy. How old fashioned.[/quote]
