Hi. I have an 8 year old daughter who is very active but has a very large midsection. She is an Irish Step dancer, plays soccer on a team year round and is involved in other sports on a recreation level. She is what I think you would consider a stand out athlete at this age as she is very strong, agile and fast. She eats very healthy, as does the whole family. Very little red meat, lots of fruits & veggis, everything low sugar, etc. She does not like to sit around. She loves to play actively all the time. Her sisters are close in age to her and eat the same foods and are thin. We feel like we need to cut her off from the amount that she eats b/c of her size. Everyone else can have more if they are still hungry and it is very challenging as a parent to encourage her not to have more. Is there any reason she should have this much fat in her mid section. You can see the fat and it is also fatty around her breast area. She has had a big belly since she was a baby but we always expected it would go away as typically the case with young children. Any suggestions would be great.
