Helping Your Child Lose Weight?

 
Helping a child lose weight does not have to be a painful experience. We believe that nutrition can be fun and is most important for kids trying to lose weight.
Helping them learn healthy habits means teaching them what is healthy choices and why it is important. We are here to provide children a positive and fun experience to help them make healthier choices and form positive associations with healthy foods.
 
The key is to begin now. The older children become the more challenging it is to change behaviors.
 
Working together as a family while the child is still forming habits and food preferences will help everyone feel healthier and be healthier.
