When parents are told their child needs to lose weight, it can color all aspects of their family, creating tension in the household, surfacing parents’ own body issues, and even damaging their child’ s self-esteem. In this compassionate and realistic guide, a leading childhood obesity expert takes a family-focused approach to help children be healthy AND happy, regardless of their body size.
Dr. Skelton explores the causes of childhood obesity, the complexities of managing it, the challenges of addressing weight and health issues with children, and the goal of raising children to be healthy without being obsessed with their weight. Parents will learn how to best interact with their kids about these issues so that children will know they are loved and wonderful, regardless of the unrealistic body images and weight bias that the world so often perpetuates.
Your Child Is Not Their Weight will help families discover a better way forward that emphasizes family meals, active play, and parents’ unconditional love for their children.
