I agree with you that the conversation should have been about healthy eating, etc and not about weight and appearance. People focus on the wrong things sometimes.

This is so sad that little girls would even have to worry about this. I have never been a small girl, and it is a hard thing to deal with.

Kids in that age range can be so fragile. It is hard to imagine a dr. making a child feel so bad. In his defense, though, he probably hears from families that they are doing all the right things, even though they aren’t. Looks like you guys have it under sontrol though. Best of luck!

It’s just SUCH a hard age. Middle school was when I started to notice what others thought of me.

There is a lot of pressure. I feel like middle school is a time anyways where kids gain a little weight and then in a year or so shoot up. I think there should be more of a focus on being healthy rather than looking thin.
