It depends on the child's height and how much muscle the child has. If the child is short and has no muscle, the the child probably is overweight. However, a tall, muscular, child may be perfectly normal. You can check the BMI of the child at: http://www.nhlbisupport.com/bmi/bmi-m.htm However, the BMI is only a preliminary indicator. You should really go and talk to a doctor to make sure. Whether the child is considered overweight though is not as important though as whether the child is unhealthy. Proper diet and exercise are the keys-- and parents should support their kids by giving them good food and promoting excercise.
