Chubby children

Even i was a chubby kid till 6 years.Now iam 27 yrs old and seeking tips to look little chubby.she is only 7 yrs and like your son she may also loose weight when she grows up.since you have mentioned she is not eating too much then why to worry..sometimes these doctors make parents worry mentioning something like this.Anyway you can keep a check on her weight after 10 yrs or so..

Sounds like my situation here also- My daughter is 10 and is 5 foot 3 inches tall- So tall for her age- but also a bit chunky—only in the tummy- the rest of her is slim- She is starting to lose the chub—we exercise a lot more- plus she is growing taller and into her body- I push a lot of fresh veggies and fruits- snacks- We eat a lot of salad with dinners- first before the main meal—that way she is kind of full- actually for all of us- Healthy eating and portions are a big thing for my family- I’m hoping this helps!

This is always a tricky problem with kids because some really are overweight and some are just "bigger". My oldest daughter is 11 1/2. She was always chubby as a little girl but I never worried about it. Now the school checks BMI's and told me she is "at risk" for being over weight and only one percentage point from being classified as "overweight". She's 4'9" ish (she's growing tall so fast it's hard to keep up) and 121 pounds. I can absolutely agree that she's bigger than other girls her age BUT she's not flabby or anything. She's very active and "solid". She's not into eating junk food and rarely stops moving. We enrolled her in Curves just to give her one more thing to do. I would say that whatever you do should depend on your daughter and how YOU feel about her size. Since you generally eat healthy anyway then I doubt there's much you need to change about her diet. If you want to change anything STRESS that it's for the HEALTH of the whole family. The last thing you want is for her to end up with a bad image of her body over this. She sounds really active too so extra exercise probably isn't necessary either. Trust your gut on this and don't let the doctor's suggestions get to you too much. Children come in all different sizes and that isn't always a bad thing!

I wouldn't be too concerned, i had a friend in the UK who was told her infant was over-weight - OMG! How can something that cant really get exercise be over weight? My SIL was also told her 4 year old daughter was over weight but she's only 4. I think they just try harder these days to get parents to stick with a healthy lifestyle because the number of over-weight & obese people out there (especially kids) that it's getting a bit ridiculous. I always cook our food in the oven or grill, i always oven bake chips/fried so they don't get full of fat, my daughter loves veggies so i give them to her as often as i can :) I guess, you could cut back on treats & do rewards instead - toys, dolls etc, maybe if you can, try the diet things, like low fat ice cream, low fat milk, i know it's not a lot of fun but they do taste just as good these days, she wouldn't know the difference! I hope that helps :)

don't worry she is still young, as long as she takes healthy food and not so much sweets she will be fine.

what you should do is go visit the the doctor ..The one that gives the dietary plans and such .And also sign her up for some sports she likes...Or something that keeps her active and something that she likes....
