I've got a bone to pick here. parents need to quit coddling their kids and make them eat right and excerise!

As a family, we are physically active. My daughters have taken gymnastic or dance lessons since they were 18 months old. They both started playing soccer when they turned 4 years old. My younger one gave it up this year for cheerleading, which is essentially gymnastics. In elementary school I did dance and track. In middle school, the early 1980's, I was the school's track team, volleyball and softball. In high school, I just did volleybal and softball. My husband was on the school's team of basketball and football. He has always been a coach for our kids soccer teams. Of course he also does an hour of Army physical training 5 days a week since 1990.
My kids started school in the years 2000 and 2003, every year and in every state we've lived in OK, VA, GA, and now AZ we have always gotten a health report sent home on the BMI. It's never an issue because we taught them how to eat properly and that excerise is something you have to do everyday of your life.
