1. Steven, a 4-year-old boy, is seen in the pediatric office for a well-child exam. He is a healthy, active boy who attends extended-day preschool as his mother works long hours. His mother states she has some questions about Steven. She says she is concerned about Steven’s growth, his language skills, and disciplining him. Steven’s mother tells you that “he seems heavier than my other children did at his age.” Upon measuring Steven you note his height to be 38.5 inches (98 cm) and his weight to be 46 pounds (20.9 kg). His calculated BMI of 21.76 plots well above the 95th percentile for age. After further discussion with Steven’s mother, you determine that he has an excessive daily intake of fruit juice and whole milk, and eats numerous fast-food meals weekly.
Steven’s mother asks if there is something wrong with Steven because he stutters and says “um” a lot.
