[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These responses are kind of strange to me. Your daughter is trying to be active. That’s good. She’s trying to eat healthy and not eat sugary things. That’s good. There’s nothing wrong with that. We should all do that

[b]The only red flag to me in your post is that you said she put on quite a bit of weight, but was still within the healthy range. I found that comment kind of strange. If she’s in the healthy range, why even comment on her weight? Did you make any comments to her or within ear range about her weight?[/b]

It’s good exercise. It’s good to not eat sugary foods. I find it odd that you put junk food in her lunch when she is expressed that she doesn’t want it. Maybe your household is not healthy enough and she is trying to change that for herself..[/quote]

Never.  But, her doctor did bring it up during her annual physical, in that where she is on the growth chart has changed, and it is something that we need to be aware of.  Like she had been in the 30th percentile all this time, but is 80th now, or something like that (I don't remember the exact numbers).

I used to pack her some little 'surprise', for lunch, every once in a while.  I don't any more.  [/quote]

To add to that, I hadn't really given much thought to the whole growth chart thing, because I figured all our bodies change during puberty, and that's normal and nothing remarkable.  So, I was caught a little off-guard when the pediatrician brought it up.[/quote]
