Raising Fit Kids in a Fat World

One out of five American children is severely overweight, and this trend shows no signs of slowing. This increasingly common problem is prompting parents and grandparents- just like you-to ask how they can protect their kids from the possibility of obesity. In this unique book, Judy Halliday and Joani Jack explain their method for the prevention of and treatment for obesity, tailoring their advice to the specific needs of growing children. They outline the three core concepts of healthy eating: portion control, nutritional meals, and regular exercise, and emphasize the importance of listening to natural body cues of hunger and satisfaction. The authors incorporate their medical knowledge and experience as parents to form a faith-based approach to healthy living that is simple for parents and kids to apply. Because this is practical, proven advice rather than a diet, the guidance in this book is appropriate for all ages, and gives parents the tools to encourage behavioral changes in their kids so that they can live fit lives to the fullest.Halliday, Judy is the author of 'Raising Fit Kids in a Fat World', published 2007 under ISBN 9780830745340 and ISBN 0830745343.
