I THINK PARENTS AND OTHERS NEED TO STOP STRESSING OUT SO MUCH ON THEIR KIDS WEIGHT. LOVE THEM FOR WHO THEY ARE..SEEMS LIKE EVERYONE IS SO WORRIED ABOUT CHILDHOOD OVERWEIGHTNESS. ARE WE JUST MAKING THE MATTERS WORSE BY ADDING ATTENTION TO OUR KIDS?! HOW ABOUT THE PARENTS OF OVERWEIGHT KIDS, MAYBE SPENDING MORE TIME WITH THE CHILDREN TO GET THEM ACTIVE. MANY (PARENTS) SEEM JUST TO BUSY NOW DAYS..WHAT A SHAME!

I think it's important for parents to worry about their kids weight for health reasons. If they don't do something now, they could possibly become obese adults, and have many health risks possibilities. I'm sure every parent loves their kids for who they are. They're just concerned about their kids lives, for instant, I'm sure some are worried about their child getting teased about weight issues.
