My 9yo (turns 10 in March) is about 4'8" and about 65lb. He's above average but not the tallest kid in his class, on the thin side but not super skinny. Size 6 shoes.

Wow, is that 50% for girls? My son was 66 lbs and was in the 85 percentile for boys. he's 8.5. He's also 90 percentile for height. He's maybe now 72 lbs but I thought he was tracking for 80-90 in weight.


Also surprised that 70 lbs would be 50% for girls! I would think its 80%.


I think it’s a sign of how unhealthy our country is and early puberty.


Pp here - sorry but you think my almost 9 year old who is 70 pounds is overweight?


NP: I believe she is the 75% percentile. That has nothing to do with being overweight or not since it depends on her height.

Bone X-rays don’t tell you anything and the shoe size thing is ridiculous.

The CDC growth charts are from 2000 and based on data from 1963-1980, friend.

Does he take vitamins or supplements?

Have you looked at whether he is falling below his usual growth/weight curve at annual well visits?
