According to this website's BMI (body mass index) calculator: http://pediatrics.about.com/cs/usefultools/l/bl_bmi_calc.htm , this child would be at risk for being overweight. You should consult her pediatrician for advice on helping her develop healthy eating habits.
When I was a child, I started to gain weight at about this age. My pediatrician never said anything to my mother, most likely because he didn't want to be rude. I have struggled with my weight my whole life, and at age 30, I'm just now getting into a healthy weight range. We found out that I have never been able to process sugars properly (genetically inherited from my father's side) and if I had been helped at an earlier age, I might not have developed Diabetes. I would recommend not allowing any beverages with sugar, and limiting intake of sweets. Also, encourage at least an hour of outdoor play daily.

A girl 55 inches tall and 85 pounds is at a normal weight if she's 10 or older. A girl younger than that is likely considered overweight or obese. Contact your health care provider for advice specific to your daughter's health.
Unless she's really tall that would be overweight.
In my opinion, 96 pounds is too skinny. If there is a technical definition of overweight, then I am sorry, I'm not sure.i belive its 110 is right.
NO!!!! you are a bit overweight really. if you lose at lest 10 pounds you will be okay!!!
yes lose some
I know someone that size. She had a large bone structure, and was healthy, so she wasn't overweight. But if you have a normal build then you are a little bit overweight.
A 4-year-old is overweight if he weighs 84 pounds. On average, a 4 year old boy should weigh about 35 pounds.
well i am a 13 year old girl and i am 5"4 and weigh 100 pounds, but i have been ill. have you started your periods yet because that adds weight as well? You are definetly not overweight.
An 11 year old boy or girl who stands 4'11" and weighs 91 pounds is at normal weight. This gives a BMI of 18.4.
I weight that amount! My doctor says, we are on the boarder of being overweight and normal so a healthy diet and regular excersize you shall begin!
The ideal weight for this height would have to be around 114lbs but It all depends on body fat (muscle weighs more than fat). Hope this helps you
