[QUOTE="navineja, post: 175337, member: 4278"] I appreciate the links too. J has spoken also of concerns over her body- 7 yrs old, 49" tall, 60 lbs. J is stocky, with a little "bodybuilder" frame. Her twin, N, (fraternal) as well as all 8 of her cousins that she is with regularly are quite thin. This summer, for the first time, N and J are unable to share shorts due to J being bigger. She is by no means heavy, she is just built differently than the rest. AND she is strong as an ox! We had a contest in Kidzfit (a youth fitness class that they attend) and she did 35 pushups without stopping! I try to emphasize to both the girls that being healthy is what is important, not how you look. But it is still so hard on a little one surrounded by all the emphasis on thinness. I will definitely be using these sites as well as the ideas to keep helping her. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
