[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Didn’t read the other comments..[/b] I am assuming your DD has a bit of a belly but is not actually overweight? (As in, the ped has not said so)? I would not worry... 1) bodies come in different shapes and sizes- my twig of a DD- 5th grade- has a bit of a pooch (2) puberty may be upon you- starts so much earlier now Realistically what can a parent do? Serve 3 reasonably healthy meals, limit snacks and treats, encourage (force! if needed) physical activity. That is it. Do the above (with proper follow through and genuine attention) and let the chips fall. That is all you CAN do. The rest is just noise. If you and DH are slender she will likely grow out of it. If you aren’t - maybe not. But either way you’ve done your job. Not everyone is skinny. [/quote] Maybe you should have.[/quote]
