My daughter is turning 15, and she's starting to become self conscious about her weight. I keep telling her she doesn't need to lose weight, she just needs to get in shape. Trouble is I'm a fairly big guy just by bone structure, and her mother is Samoan, so my daughter has always been well off the "height/weight" charts for her age group. She's currently about 5' 10" and 180 pounds, which sounds like a lot, but if you've never known a Samoan, you have no idea how dense they are. Here's a photo of my daughter and I together for reference -
As you can see she's hardly overweight, but my question is, is there anything to be concerned about using the Thrive approach with teens? I'm not sure how it would be a problem, but it's always best to check in with the boss first...
