[quote=Anonymous]Call the doctor to share your concerns/ask for a referral to a nutritionist and then let the doctor do the talking with your daughter at the appointment. Then you aren't the food police. http://www.pbs.org/parents/raisinggirls/bodies/weight.html I have a similar daughter, age 11, 5'2.5" and 111 lbs at her last check up a few weeks ago. I really can't have any junk food in the house and only have dessert for special occasions. I keep tons of fruit in the house and my daughter eats lots of it, especially between 3-5pm. It does stress me at times because her tendancy is to overeat like it's Thanksgiving. It's hard to me to understand and makes me concerned about her weight when she's an adult. We do lots of family walks and hikes because she resists joining sport teams. If her weight were 140 lbs I would definitely set up a meeting with the pediatrician. [/quote]
