Do these kids look overweight to you?Yeah me neither. But according to their school BMI evaluation both are borderline at risk for being overweight. How ridiculous!
My doctor gets so irritated with the schools when they send these notices home. His philosophy? You take care of teaching children to read and write, I'll take care of keeping them healthy.
I'm in the same boat with my 5-yer old. Only, it is the peds telling me he's in that category. I let it roll ... He's a healthy, active boy, who has a solid build, and is not fat.

So frustrating!!! Especially if either of them sensed the Dr.'s concern and took it to heart!! I'm in the same boat sister!
it seems as though the guidelines and numbers are so weird, right? shouldn't it just matter what you feed your kids and how active they are?!?!

What the heck!!!! I would be furious! Infact I kind of am!!!! No wonder there are so many issues with self esteem in children!
