[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is she hitting puberty? Kids tend to eat more around that time. Id take her to the doctor and rule out hormonal imbalances and get some suggestions from a professional. Personally I’m more on the side of don’t focus too much on her weight, but always rule out medical causes first.[/quote] She could be, but she has definitely been getting chubby noticeably since she 6/7.[/quote] It's not your job to decide what size her body is. It's not your job to teach her to limit her food intake. That can cause disordered eating, and tons of damage to her mental AND physical health. She's about to hit puberty, even if she's not there quite yet, and her body is changing. Let her be.[/quote]
