BMI

BMI is a measure of height and weight to determine body fat. Evidence-based information shows that most parents want chubby children without considering their Body Mass Index. Conducting a BMI helps you in checking whether your child is healthy, underweight, overweight or obese. It also helps you to determine whether your child is increasing or decreasing in weight when weight checks are performed regularly. This section will teach you about science-based parenting that requires you to regularly check your child’s BMI, manage weight and prevent obesity as well as his tendency of being underweight. It is also important to note that weight can be determined by genetic factors’ predisposition.
