Product Description
One out of five American children are severely overweight, and this trend shows no signs of stopping. This increasingly common problem is prompting parents to ask how they can protect their kids from the dangers of obesity. In this unique book, Judy Halliday and Joani Jack explain their method for the prevention of and treatment for obesity, tailoring their advice to the specific needs of growing children. They outline the three core concepts of healthy eating: portion control, nutritional meals, and regular exercise, and emphasize the importance of listening to natural body cues of hunger and satisfaction. The authors incorporate their medical knowledge and experience as parents into a faith-based approach to healthy living that is easy for parents and kids to apply. Because this is practical, proven advice rather than a diet, the guidance in this book is appropriate for all ages, and gives parents the tools to encourage behavioral changes in their kids so that they can live fit lives to the fullest.

 Great resource July 14, 2008
If you work with parents in any capacity who are trying to raise fit kids, this is a great read for them. I recommend it. It can created a nice discussion between parent and child and give guidance to parents who may lack understanding for themselves, as well, as to how to get fit and healthy!

Raising Fit Kids in a Fat WorldThis book is great! The authors give a balance of teaching children good nutrition and teaching them portion control. There is very good information for parents on how to teach the children and work with them on exercise, nutrition, and portions. I hope teachers, parents, and Church leaders will read and apply the lessons taught in this book so the epidemic of obesity in our nation can be dealt with in a way that will work.
Great! December 29, 2007
