[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't panic. She's probably about to get a lot taller.[/quote] No, the fat around the chest pretty much rules that out. Sometimes before puberty they willl have some extra belly fat but will not be overweight just disproportionate until the height comes in. This sounds like too many calories. You don’t have to use the word fat but she does need to know that it’s not good for her body to eat more food than she needs. We all have to eat the correct proportions based on our age, even adults. Skip the home breakfast and let her have breakfast at school. A lot of kids do that. I don’t think it’s fair for the teacher to have to deal with that in the morning. [/quote]
