9-Year Old Son Is Becoming Overweight
Hi all. I have a 9-year old son, our youngest. He's always been a big kid- he's about 4'8" and (don't have a scale at home) probably around 100, 110 lbs. He's been in the 90 to 95th percentile of size since he was born, and he's not just "fat", he's a big, strong, muscular kid- for his age has broad shoulders, really quite strong. His dad is pretty big- 6'1", about 220. (I'm petite, only 5'1"). I am getting concerned, though, as he's developing some 'belly fat' that I thought he was growing out of- he seemed to be getting chubby a year...
