What is the ideal weight for an 8 year old boy?

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the average weight for an 8-year-old boy is between 50 and 59 pounds. However, this can vary depending on the child's height, build, and activity level. Some 8-year-old boys may weigh more or less than this average, and this does not necessarily mean that they are overweight or underweight.

To determine if an 8-year-old boy is overweight or underweight, it is important to look at their body mass index (BMI). BMI is a measure of body fat based on height and weight. A healthy BMI for an 8-year-old boy is between 15 and 24.9.

If you are concerned about your child's weight, talk to their doctor. They can help you determine if your child is a healthy weight and provide guidance on how to maintain a healthy weight.
