When my little girl started school, age just 4, there was a lesson about the need to have a healthy heart.
After that, she refused to sit down - running round everywhere... at bedtime she wouldn't go to sleep. She told me if she didn't excercise, she was afraid her heart would stop!
I complained to the school & spoke to our health visitor.
We never really managed to overcome the hyper-activity that resulted (buying her a Ninetendo DS has helped her to keep still).
Her diet has never been right. I was still spoon-feeding her when she was 7 because that was the only way I could get food inside her
(she preferred to just drink milk).
(I tried letting her starve, as advised, for a short time, but that didn't work).
She eats very, very little! I took her to a paedicitrician, when her weight was worrying me & the GP. She agreed to eat more.
But after a few days, she reverted back.
She only eats a bit of pasta & some fruit.
& Now, a few weeks later, she says she is on a diet!
