[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not sure why people are jumping on PP.  OP was asking if it's common and PP said more common in heavier girls.  That's true.

Obese or overweight girls may be the exception to the rule, Kaplowitz warns. His caution is backed up by a recent study published in Pediatrics. It shows that by age 9, 80 percent of obese girls have begun to develop, versus 58 percent of overweight girls and 40 percent of girls in the normal weight range.

PP may have been factually accurate, but it was irrelevant to OP’s question and was simply a snotty side comment with no reason other than to be unkind. [/quote]

NP. Parents of overweight young children need a wake up call. The epidemic has gotten so much worse and it makes me sad every time I leave my house. One of my DD’s good friends is already very chubby at 10. Her mom buys all kinds of crap food and does not restrict her diet whatsoever. As in regularly eats pop tarts for breakfast, is allowed to eat an entire sleeve of GS cookies in a sitting, unrestricted access to candy, etc.[/quote]
