    Instead of recommending the BMI, why not use the child’s astrological sign? It is just as ‘accurate’ at estimating healthy weight. If a girl and boy are at the same weight and same height, they will have the same BMI, even though she may be overweight and he may be underweight. Several obesity metrics are more valuable than the old BMI. The waist to hips ratio and the waist to height ratio each give more useful information.   www.weightzonefactor.com gives a comprehensive, scientific analysis of weight and fitness and I recommend it.
