[quote=Anonymous]OP. I am pp who asked about weight and height. I meant don't make a big deal, not see them make a big deal.I just wanted to add that since you are in England, there are different percentiles than here in the US. You are on Washington D.C. forum and while not as bad as somewhere else half people here are Gwyneth Paltrow's replicas. My kids went to British school overseas at the age of your kids.  I saw many kids that sound just like your boys, early growth spurts, bellies. Often tall for their age kids. I assume your son's pediatrician see similar boys all the time. Almost none of these boys are obese now, year later. You have to take into account that US percentiles are made on extremely varied ethnic population and you need to look at Northern European ethnicity. Are your boys more heavy than they should be?  Yes, but unless you are completely delusional, you will know when it is a real issue. I went through a chubby phase till 14 years old, and then was as skinny as a stick, no joke, 100lbs at 21, and 5'4".[/quote]
