My 8 year old dd has still got her toddler rounded tummy shape, and although she's not overweight she's started to notice that her friends mostly have flat tummies and it's making her upset. I'm telling her that it will naturally go as she grows and changes shape, but I did think that usually that bloated shape went by the age of 3or 4. My ds is 4 and he is very long and lean. I wonder if certain foods might bloat her as her tummy feels very hard sometimes. Also she says all her friends can do sit ups and she really can't, so maybe it's muscle strength that she's lacking? Anyone come across this before? Don't want her to get poor body image already.
