From Sheri, child's age 9

Hi. My daughter just turned nine in June, and i honestly don't know her exact weight, but she is a short child and is large for her age. My mother took her school shopping yesterday, and found that she wears a girls size 14, and can even wear a women's size 4/6. This is not normal for a nine year old child. She also doesn't want to participate in a lot of physical activity, no matter how much my husband and I encourage her to. I really want to help her before it becomes an even bigger issue than it already is. She is oging into the fourth grade, and kids can really be cruel. I need to know how to handle this delicately. What should I do?
