This Week's Question:
Your 16-year-old daughter is a highly successful cross-country runner. You notice that she has progressively lost weight over the past eight months and is looking too thin to you. What do you do?

Response:
I would first talk to my daughter about how things are going with both practice and school. Is she running more than usual? Is she eating enough to compensate for extra running? Is she worried about anything regarding her grades, school friends, dating, etc.? I would then most likely take her to her pediatrician to ensure that there is nothing we're missing. Lastly, I might involve the coach in my concern, but only if the first two options hit a dead end or don't turn up enough info to satisfy me.
