[quote=Anonymous]My soon-to-be 8 year old weighs 51 pounds. I know he has friends that are about 20+ pounds heavier. It seems to be an age where there is a lot of size variation, honestly, OP (which is why I gave the example!). My son is always hungry to and it can be SO difficult to control. I had a different thought as well. I have known [b]a lot[/b] of kids that do their growing in this age range, get to high school and don't get taller but thin out dramatically. Maybe your son fits into that category? We were told by the doctor that our son will be growing well past age 18, so he is on the opposite end of the spectrum. It just feels to me that a lot of people are focused on his size and yet there could be another explanation behind it. [/quote]
