Hi all,

My only just 12 year old DD is 50% for weight and 98% for height. She looks like a stretched version of Kate Moss in her waif days. Should I be concerned? I’m almost 100% certain there are no food issues. In fact she looks just like her father did in his youth, all limbs and gangly. I’m only concerned because I’ve heard the children shouldn’t stray far from their percentiles. She’s usually 75 for weight and 91 for height. Since puberty she’s been getting taller and taller and not putting weight on. No periods yet, she’s about 6.5 stone.

Thank you

Yes, it’s the mismatch that was worrying me. I’ll stop and worry so I something else now. What to chose?Grin. I’d always assumed she was like me physically, quite sturdy, but it seems she’s got her dads lanky gene.
