[quote=Anonymous]Don’t mention her waistline/belly. But don’t ignore it either. Obese children are high risk for lifelong obesity. Take your child back to the pediatrician. She is your child and is therefore your responsibility as well as your wife’s. Teach your daughter that she is smaller than her older brother and therefore cannot eat as much as him until she is his size. Say no when she wants seconds when she has had enough. Say no when she wants junk food. Say no when she wants soda or candy. (Obviously let her have treats occasionally.) she is still too young to decide on her portions and diet. And get her moving.
