Generation BMI → Cranky Fitness.

This is such a good commentary about the fine line between wanting to do something about childhood obesity and damaging self esteem and self worth. Where is that line?

And is BMI the correct assessment of obesity especially during kids’ “awkward” stages? We all have known kids that were chunky or even fat but then come back from summer break and they grew like 5 inches and no longer fit those adjectives.  Tweens/Teens are so tender emotionally in so many ways. Say one off the cuff remark one time, and that could be the one that sticks.

Slippery slope indeed…
