Duckie has grown quite a bit in the last few months. She's shot up to 49", 54lbs, and has a BMI of 15.8 at 7.5 years old. While she's no longer frighteningly skinny, she is still very slender and one of the skinnier kids at school.
We went through her dresser and closet to get an idea of what I would need to update for school and all but two of her pants need replacing now. Not a big deal, right? Duckie immediately jumped to the conclusion that she was fat (I can't stress enough that this isn't the case). She's mentioned her size a few more times since then.
Can anyone point me in the direction of any books or online resources that I could use to help Duckie develop a more realistic view of her body? She isn't to the point where she's restricting calorie intake, but I'd like to stop this before it gets too bad.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
