Your little guy is active, healthy, happy and don't listen to them! Is telling you that helping or accurately reflecting reality? We know that weight and BMI gets it wrong at least 20% if not more of the time. Meaning, kids in the "obese" category and healthy and fine, and what about the skinny kid who skips breakfast and eats Snickers and a Diet Coke for lunch and sits around watching TV. Is that kid "healthy?" I'm sorry you have to hear that all the time. Think about how many other parents are hearing that message and intervening by restricting healthy kids. Its bordering on malpractice as far as I'm concerned. If you have the guts, maybe refer them to Ellyn Satter's work the next time she/he tells you this! Keep up the good work!familyfeedingdynamicshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09049399245893420332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1135990113081206879.post-74275990652631304502009-03-30T16:33:00.000-07:002009-03-30T16:33:00.000-07:00Conor is still off the charts at age 6 and I still...Conor is still off the charts at age 6 and I still get told at every check up that according to the chart thing he is considered obese. But his height always has been and still is also off the charts as well. So I consider him "well proportioned" :)All About the Boyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00747903442675743677noreply@blogger.com
