If you think your chubby child will outgrow his or her weight, think again. Today's world of fast food and sedentary pastimes does little to encourage physical activity and healthy eating. One in four children in this country is unhealthily overweight, and the physical and emotional costs will shorten his or her life. But there's good news: Parents can take charge -- and Trim Kids shows how.

This easy-to-use, scientifically tested plan helps children achieve a healthy weight -- and have fun doing it. Written by the Committed To Kids Team, this book will help you reverse the vicious circle of childhood obesity.

Trim Kids is a unique twelve-week plan that gives parents and children a positive, safe initial approach to lifetime weight management. Each week, parents and kids together will practice scientifically proven ways to increase daily activity and will set (and celebrate!) achievable eating and exercise goals. Children will learn kid-specific exercises especially designed for their weight levels, and the family will enjoy dozens of menu plans with tasty, nutritious, kid-tested recipes. You'll discover easy nutrition strategies -- including shopping lists and dining-out tips -- perfect for busy caregivers, and you'll learn how to coach your child in well-established behavioral strategies for making healthier lifestyle choices away from home.

  Some of the topics included are:

  •         Is my child at risk?  How do I know if there is a problem?  How overweight is my child?

  •     Positive support:  Where do I start with my child/adolescent without creating a huge food war!

  •   Kids and activity:  What kind and how much? Picture-by-picture exercises tailor-made for your child!

  • Help!  What can I feed my child (that they will actually eat!)?  Practical (and kid-tested) nutrition strategies for busy caregivers.

  •  I can do this!   Self-esteem boosters:  A step-by-step plan to promote mind as well as body wellness.
