[quote=Anonymous]How is your family built? I'm mostly lean but genetically pear-shaped, but my ex's family is all apple-shaped - they carry more weight in their midsections. My daughter is built the same way. So she's 8 years old and 70 pounds. She is active and her arms and legs are lean, but she has always had a belly. She is self-conscious about it if someone points it out (which other girls have, a few times.) I schedule her into a lot of physical activity (soccer, dance, bball, swim, running), and I try to make sure that her empty-calorie snacking is minimal and that most of her snacks and meals are healthy and include veggies and fruits. I think that's all I can do. I don't want to give her body issues going forward.[/quote]
