So, my 6 year old DD has always been very slender and tall for her age, meaning she's normally in the 80th or higher percentile for height and has been as low a the 5 percentile for weight. Our doctor has always kept a close eye on this, but she's a fussier eater who does eat lots of "good" stuff so I've never been super concerned. However, recently I'm noticing with increased gym hours (9 hour per week) she has become nothing but muscle and bones, there is no fat on this child what so ever! I mean her gym shorts (bootie shorts) are baggy around her legs.
With the amount of time and strength conditioning they're doing in the gym I'm starting to get concerned that she has no more muscle to build and think we may have to work on putting some weight on her...not for her gymnastics future but for her own health. Do people have some good (picky eater friendly) recipes that they could share to help bulk her up a bit?
This feels like a ridiculous question, but should I be concerned that she's too skinny for gymnastics? Is that even possible?
