Boy, tall (75 inches, 6'3", 254 pounds), active, plays baseball every fall and spring. We (the parents) encourage a healthy lifestyle but certainly do not push it down his throat, I am one or two pounds overweight (at 46) and his mom is slim so we are relatively good role models. However, the problem recently is that his brother who is 3 years younger and looks up to him a lot has picked up a lot of his eating habits and is getting a little chubby. What to do?

To determine if your children are considered overweight, use the Weight calculator posted on the site. Continue to encourage healthy eating and possible encourage your younger child to participate in sports that they may enjoy.
