The weight problem came with our second daughter, and she wasn't too heavy. Her problem is that between the age of one year and eighteen months she didn't grow in height at all and went down two pounds. That is not normal. It is interesting that I had a fear that I would have this overweight toddler, and our actual challenge was exactly the opposite. In addition to the weight, we noticed she wasn't very active and laid around a lot instead of running around the house and getting into mischief like her older sister loved to do.
The fix wasn't too difficult, though. She had special dietary needs. We just changed her diet, and the change was breathtaking. She gained weight very quickly and grew a couple of inches in a single month. She has always been smaller for her age than her big sister, but is a healthy weight. It was an easily corrected problem, but it threw me for a loop. I always was afraid that my example would harm my kids, but the trial that came up was very different than what I was anticipating.
This is how life works. We can make all the plans in the world, and we should plan for everything we can foresee as a problem. Success at the game of life is all about how well we roll with the problems.
I can also report that none of my children have the same kinds of problems that I have with my weight. Of course, I didn't really even develop a real problem with it until my teenage years. I have no idea what problems they will have as they grow up. I don't know if they will have some of the same problems as I have had or a completely new set I have never seen. I just know that they will have problems just like every other human being to ever live on this earth and I have to be ready to help them no matter what they may.
