    Pediatric Weight Management
    Healthy eating. Active lifestyles.

    Are you or your doctor worried about your child being overweight? Our six-week, comprehensive “Healthy eating. Active lifestyles.” program is for parents of children ages 2 to 12 years old. We will help you implement changes so your child can get back on track and eat healthfully, be active, and grow up to have the body that is right for him or her. By focusing on the whole child—not just his or her weight—the program provides practical, problem solving techniques for creating a positive feeding and activity environment for your child and dealing with behavioral issues. The program includes an individual pre-assessment prior to enrolling, and a post-program individual visit with the dietitian.

    Through the program, you will learn how to:

    • Create positive feeding and eating during meal times and snacks
    • Creative solutions to encourage regular physical activity
    • Identify and foster healthy habits
    • Implement positive parenting techniques to support your child towards optimum health
    • Overall improve your family’s relationship through family meals and interactive activities
    This program is not about getting your child to lose weight or diet. It is about establishing a positive relationship with your child around food and meal behaviors, optimizing feeding and supporting your child's natural growth tendencies with the expectation/hope that weight acceleration will stop. We are focusing on long term positive results.
