[quote=Anonymous]I have an 11 year old boy who is overweight. Our ped is not worried about it as long as he stays active (he plays sports all seasons and we keep him moving and off screens). I would absolutely never put him "on a diet". We do, as a family, eat healthy at home. I don't buy junk food or sugary drinks. We very rarely eat out. We don't eat a lot of sugar or desserts, even home made. Both of my kids (the oldest is super lean and fit) help with meal planning and cooking. We use a CSA 8 months every year so they have a good variety of in season vegetables. None of us snack after dinner. But also, if we do have a treat or eat out, we all do it. There's no depriving the overweight CHILD of a treat occasionally. We are trying to set everyone up to be healthy without ever talking about dieting or dwelling on weight. Same rules for the kid who is a healthy weight as the one who is overweight. [/quote]
