Like many parents in this country, my wife and I were confronted with the fact that our child had a weight management problem. Both my child's pediatrician and school nurse advised us on several occasions of their concerns about my child's weight, yet neither provided us with the guidance, education, or access to medical programs that would help us address our child's health problem. While not a healthcare clinician, I began to thoroughly research the topic of childhood obesity and weight management by studying various childhood weight management books and programs in order to obtain the necessary knowledge base to develop and implement an action plan to begin to address our child's weight problem. This experience revealed to me that there are not enough resource books readily available for parents that provide the basic information to begin to effectively address a child's weight management problem. Many parents would benefit from reading books addressing weight management specifically from the parents' point of view, with basic information, educational resources, and recommendations to immediately begin to help address their child's weight management problem. This book is the culmination of many hours of reading, research, development, planning, and implementing the necessary steps to assist my family in addressing our child's weight problem. It is written from the perspective of and for a parent of a child with a weight problem, and more importantly attempts to provide a parent with the necessary basic nutritional information to create a positive environment to be successful in beginning to manage and address a child's weight management problem.

Pediatric weight management programs have been criticized for not addressing the individual needs and barriers that families face during weight management. Given that the success of such programs depends largely on the parents' capacity to support their child's weight management, perhaps treatment effectiveness could be improved by learning how parents experience their child's excess weight and by listening to what they believe could help them support their child's weight management. Additionally, the lack of focus on the emotional aspects of pediatric weight management suggests that families may benefit from the addition of mental health services to weight management programs. The purpose of this study was thus to learn how parents of overweight and obese children conceptualize and experience their child's excess weight, and to explore whether these parents think mental health professionals could contribute to pediatric weight management programs. This was accomplished by conducting open-ended interviews with ten parents of families enrolled in a nutrition and exercise education program for overweight children in Kent, Ohio, USA. Interview responses were analyzed from a phenomenological research approach. Overall, the results suggested that parents feel they need help to overcome the many challenges they face during their child's weight management. The results also demonstrated that parents agree with the inclusion of mental health assistance in weight management programs to help families cope with excess weight and address an aspect of weight management that is evidently given less attention than it deserves. Perhaps, taking the parents' experience into consideration would help pediatric weight management programs engage families in treatment, improve treatment effectiveness, and lower drop-out rates by addressing parents' weight management concerns appropriately and increasing confidence in their weight-related parenting skills.

The United States is facing a health crisis of epidemic proportions: children are gaining weight younger and faster than ever before. With the prospect of becoming the most obese generation of adults in history, they are already turning up with an alarming assortment of "grown-up" maladies, from type 2 diabetes to high blood pressure. This book takes a clear-eyed look at what's behind the statistics and diagnoses, and what can be done about the major health crisis among American children. Sharron Dalton begins with the basics: what obesity is, what causes it, and why it matters. Integrating information from scientific and popular sources, she reviews past remedies and their results and compares specific strategies and programs for children. When a third of our children are overweight or likely to become so, it's everyone's problem—and this book argues for a united approach, promoting the role of parents, health professionals, and school and community leaders. For each group, Dalton outlines actions to combat the epidemic. She suggests ways for parents to respond to their children in interactions centered on food and physical activities. And she illuminates a number of issues raised by childhood obesity, from the pain of fat discrimination to the economic, social, and political ramifications of an epidemic of obesity among the young. At once authoritative and nontechnical, no-nonsense and compassionate, Our Overweight Children is a clear call to action—a prescription for treating the most dire problem threatening our children's health and our nation's future. Our Overweight Children includes * A discussion of what obesity is, what causes it, and why it matters * A review of various remedies and their results * A comparison of specific strategies and programs for children * A plan for parents, health professionals, and school and community leaders to work together to confront childhood obesity
Effect Of A Family Based Weight Management Intervention On The Association Between Weight Loss And Children S Quality Of Life

Childhood obesity is associated with numerous morbidities, and effective interventions are needed to provide children and their parents the tools and skills they need to make healthier lifestyle choices. Children with obesity are more likely to have poorer health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and poorer weight-specific quality of life (WSQOL) compared to their peers. The impact of weight management interventions on children’s HRQOL and WSQOL is not fully understood. Whether and how weight loss changes parents’ and children’s perceptions of the children’s quality of life can provide insight into interventions’ effectiveness and highlight opportunities for adapting interventions.Objective: To determine the association between pediatric participants’ weight loss and change in their quality of life, specifically HRQOL and WSQOL, among participants enrolled in family-based behavioral weight management interventions. This study used a one-arm quasi-experimental design and combined data from two previous pediatric weight management intervention studies. Parents with overweight/obesity and their children ages 7 to 11 with overweight/obesity participated in a 20-week, family-based weight management intervention focused on increasing healthier lifestyle eating and activity behaviors. Child height, child weight, and child self-reported and parent proxy-reported HRQOL and WSQOL were collected. Child self-reported and parent proxy-reported HRQOL and WSQOL scores were compared. Multiple regression was used to assess the association between change in child BMI z-score and change in child HRQOL and WSQOL. Parent proxy-reported WSQOL was significantly lower than child self-reported WSQOL at all timepoints, but quality of life significantly increased with treatment. Change in child BMI z-score was significantly negatively associated with change in child self-reported total WSQOL (improvements in child weight status associated with improvements in weight-related quality of life) but not child self-reported total HRQOL. Change in child BMI z-score was also significantly negatively associated with parent proxy-reported HRQOL and WSQOL. The change in children’s self-reported quality of life does not track with changes in their weight status as much as changes in parents’ perceptions of child quality of life improvements. Parent perceptions of child HRQOL and WSQOL indicate significant improvement with intervention that is more linked to child weight status changes. Pediatric weight management interventions may need modification to show children how their weight loss is related to their improving quality of life.
