is my son over weight?
Question
My nine year old stands 59 1/2 tall and weighs 102lbs is overweight? and if so how do I go about correcting this issue
Dear Paulette, Your son is over the 100 percentile for his height and weight. He is a big kid, but his weight matches what he should weigh according to his height. So in my opinion, no, he is not overweight for his height. Your son's doctor should be able to check his growth curves since birth and give you an idea of what a good weight should be for him. Hope that helps, Laura Kraemer,Slimkids.com
