I have a daughter who is twelve, she is probably 58 inches tall, and weighs 126.  My son is eight, he is 56 inches, and he weighs 121.  I am very careful about portion size, and they always get healthy snacks.  We don't even keep chips or candy in the house.  I think genetics is it.  I am only 5 ft. and I weigh 124, but I can only eat about 700 calories a day, or my weight will soar.  As long as children feel loved and accepted within their families, weight should not be an issue, unless it is a health problem. 

I am five six and 130. I do not think being a lil over weight is a big deal. I am talking about huge children. Its sad ppl vaule their childs health so little. Their heart has to work overtime when they are that big. 

I wasn't overweight as a teenager because she made sure I wasn't gonna get fat.  Always looking over my shoulder at what I ate.  She knows how it felt to be overweight and there was no way that was gonna happen to me.  Some of the things were a little drastic but it was for my own good.  Now this mom maybe trying to do the samething but her communications skills just may suck.  Blaming the parents I think is wrong however they need to learn how to communicate better so they can help her.  Some people think that hurting feelings will make people change. That is just poor communications skills.  They mean the best
