[quote=ThatSmileyFaceGuy][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At 9 yrs old my DS was 5'2" 120lbs. Yes he is the size of a 12 yr old. Would I make him "diet?" no. Do I encourage healthy eating and lots of physical activity? yes. We model healthy eating and regular exercise. Do I want to promote unhealthy body image and over-self-consciousness at this early age? No. [/quote] She said this was at the doctor's recommendation. [/quote] No the doctor more than likely talked about making better food choices and now she has gone overboard. I have 8 year old twin (fraternal) boys. One is 4'10" and weighs 105 (granted he had to take 10 weeks off recently because of a broken elbow) and his brother is 4'7" weighing in at 85. The bigger son usually has his growth spurt over the summer to the point that people that don't see him over the summer always comment how much leaner he looks then when they last saw him in the spring.
