[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It sounds like she's an early grower. My DD is 4' 5" (on the shorter side) and 60 lbs (petite). Honestly, 97 lbs doesn't sound unreasonable for being almost 5 feet tall. Are you sure that's overweight?[/quote] It’s actually almost underweight. [/quote] My 13 year old is the same weight and 5'3" and isn't underweight, she's in the 25th percentile for BMI so I doubt it. That said, a lot of kids chunk up at this age before puberty. Its probably that more than anything. You shouldn't have to be super active to keep your weight the same, so you should really eyeball what the family diet is like and make some modifications if she has gained a lot of weight quickly. That said the stats seem normal enough, she's quite tall for 10, my 10 year old is only 72lb but several inches shorter. A team sport where she can socialize would be a good choice. My kids do dance classes. [/quote]
