Description
The dangers of childhood obesity are real. The future health consequences for our children cannot be avoided. How did we get to this crisis point? And what do we, as responsible parents, educators, and citizens do to reclaim the health of generations to come?
Underage & Overweight: America's Childhood Obesity Crisis-What Every Family Needs to Know is a clarion call to American society. Childhood obesity expert Frances Berg clearly and concisely examines the scope of the current problem, its root cause, the medical consequences, and the challenges facing overweight children and their parents. She examines the issue from all sides-the classroom, the playground, the home entertainment center, the fast food counter, and the family dining table.
Dr. Berg tells us why past solutions haven't worked and why diets for kids almost always fail. She brings a fresh perspective to a problem that has been a growing concern to parents, educators, and health care providers. Most importantly, she provides direction on effecting lasting change and solving the childhood obesity crisis once and for all.
Underage & Overweight doesn't just explore the problem; it provides a plan for overcoming the crisis and raising happier and healthier children. It will help you get your children to be more active, to normalize their eating habits, and understand the basics of good nutrition. It shows how to work with your school system and child's teachers to crate a healthier, nurturing environment and what role doctors and health care workers can play. Underage & Overweight provides seven specific steps tat you can take now to help you children achieve a healthy weight.
Underage & Overweight is vital reading for parents, teachers, school administrators, doctors, nurses, and health care workers-indeed for anyone concerned about our children and their future.
