You cannot afford to be unaware of the serious health risks associated with childhood obesity. As a loving, caring parent, you only want the best for your child – but you may not know how serious those extra pounds are. Did you know that your child could face serious health risks, such as: Elevated Cholesterol, Breathing Problems Overexerted Heart Muscle, Causing a Higher Risk of Heart Disease or Heart Attack, Diabetes, Sleep Apnea (Stopping Breathing While Asleep),Weaker Bones and Muscle Problems It’s imperative that you help your child maintain an appropriate weight for his or her height and age. Help Your Child Lose Extra Pounds and Maintain a Healthy, Appropriate Weight – Without Any Suffering at All! Unfortunately, parents are victims. We live in an age of McDonald’s, video games, convenience and technology. It’s harder than ever to make sure our children are a healthy and appropriate weight. Our children are not going to save themselves – it’s up to us to ensure that they are healthy and happy. It’s not just our responsibility...it’s our duty. Take a look at the shocking statistics below: Even one popular cookie commercial utilizes the power of ‘family,’ showing children and their parents racing to eat the cookies – making it seem like a regular, normal activity you might engage in if you’re a ‘good’ parent. With all of these different signals coming at you, it can be extremely difficult to determine whether you’re making the right decisions regarding your child’s diet. That’s why I’m excited to tell you about... “Understanding Childhood Obesity and the Essential Role of Parents” This is a book designed to help you take control of your child’s diet and ensure that he or she is getting precisely what they need and no more – and that you’re supporting a healthy, appropriate weight. It takes the guesswork out of the equation and answers the nagging questions you have about your child’s nutrition. Just some of the information you’ll find in this book includes: (1) What daily foods your child should be eating. These are the foods that are essential for good growth and development in your child. (2) Which foods they should be eating sparingly – the kinds of foods that could end up as problematic and cause more weight to be gained. (3) How to introduce your child to healthier foods that they may be averse to in the beginning – and how to sneak in healthy foods. (4) How much exercise your child should be getting each day – and what qualifies as exercise. Did you know that something as simple as jumping rope can be an excellent exercise for your child? (5) What questions and topics you should bring up with your doctor. Should your child be taking medications or vitamin supplements? How much overweight is your child and how much weight should they lose? How quickly should they lose this weight? These are all valid questions that you should ask your child’s pediatrician. Find out which other ones you should be asking. It’s Never Too Late to Put Your Child on the Fast Track to Great Physical and Mental Health! Don’t let your child become a victim of one of the most preventable diseases in the United States of America.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract:PURPOSE: Childhood obesity is fast becoming a worldwide epidemic. Parents have been found to playa pivotal role in the development of their child, but just how parent- child relationships affect child BMI is not clearly defined. The purpose of this study was to determine whether a relationship existed between parent-child interactions and child BMI class. DATA SOURCE AND METHODS: This study used data from the 2003 National Survey of Children's Health (NSCH), conducted by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention National Center for Health Statistics. We derived our sample from the NSCH using these inclusion criteria: Children aged 6-9 years old, mothers or fathers as the respondent, no identified developmental delay or impairment, no identified autism, and availability of both height and weight of the child. Of the 102353 interviews completed, 16 332 met the eligibility criteria for inclusion in this study. The independent variables included the three levels of parent-child interaction: authority, intimacy, and companionship. The dependent variable in this study was the child's BMI class which was divided into 2 groups; group 1 (underweight and normal weight) and group 2 (at risk for overweight and overweight). RESULTS: Bivariate analysis revealed that an association existed between all levels of parent-child interaction and child BMI class. A multivariate regression analysis demonstrated that under the authority level, media hours of 2 (p =.008, OR = 1.39) and greater than 3 (p = .001, OR = 1.60) reliably predicted an increased likelihood of the child being in group 2. Under the intimacy domain, children of parents who responded as not at all concerned with their relationship with the child were at a decreased likelihood of being in group 2 (p = .018, OR = .810). CONCLUSIONS: Authority was the most strongly related domain to child BMI class. Higher levels of parental intimacy were found to decrease a child's risk of overweight or obese. The companionship domain was not related to child BMI class. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: The results of this study provide the pediatric physical therapist insight into intervention strategies that address both the parents and the children in order to reduce childhood obesity. The physical therapist may work with the child to find alternative activities to substitute for watching television, videos, or playing video games. Physical therapists can playa crucial role in educating parents about the detrimental effects of sedentary activities on their child's weight status and encouraging them to set limits on sedentary activities.

Book excerpt: This book uses unique dataset to examine parental influence on children's dietary intake and whether or not the children will become obese. The study shows that household income, parents' time spent with children, and parents' work experiences significantly affect children's energy and fat intake and obesity-related outcomes. For example, the more time mothers spent with their children, the lower the children's Body Mass Index (BMI) was. On the other hand, the more time fathers spent with their children, the higher the children's BMI was. And the more time both fathers and mothers spent with their children, the higher their children's fat intake (as a percentage of energy) was. In general, mothers tended to have a greater effect on their children's dietary intake than fathers did. Both parents seemed to influence children ages 9-11 more than they did children ages 13-15. This publication is based on a government report augmented by a full index and related literature report.

This book was released on 2011-10-31 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Childhood obesity is a serious health problem that has adverse and long-lasting consequences for individuals, families, and communities. The magnitude of the problem has increased dramatically during the last three decades and, despite some indications of a plateau in this growth, the numbers remain stubbornly high. Efforts to prevent childhood obesity to date have focused largely on school-aged children, with relatively little attention to children under age 5. However, there is a growing awareness that efforts to prevent childhood obesity must begin before children ever enter the school system. Early Childhood Obesity Prevention Policies reviews factors related to overweight and obese children from birth to age 5, with a focus on nutrition, physical activity, and sedentary behavior, and recommends policies that can alter children's environments to promote the maintenance of healthy weight. Because the first years of life are important to health and well-being throughout the life span, preventing obesity in infants and young children can contribute to reversing the epidemic of obesity in children and adults. The book recommends that health care providers make parents aware of their child's excess weight early. It also suggests that parents and child care providers keep children active throughout the day, provide them with healthy diets, limit screen time, and ensure children get adequate sleep. In addition to providing comprehensive solutions to tackle the problem of obesity in infants and young children, Early Childhood Obesity Prevention Policies identifies potential actions that could be taken to implement those recommendations. The recommendations can inform the decisions of state and local child care regulators, child care providers, health care providers, directors of federal and local child care and nutrition programs, and government officials at all levels.

This book was released on 2016-11-21 with total page 525 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Decades of research have demonstrated that the parent-child dyad and the environment of the familyâ€"which includes all primary caregiversâ€"are at the foundation of children's well- being and healthy development. From birth, children are learning and rely on parents and the other caregivers in their lives to protect and care for them. The impact of parents may never be greater than during the earliest years of life, when a child's brain is rapidly developing and when nearly all of her or his experiences are created and shaped by parents and the family environment. Parents help children build and refine their knowledge and skills, charting a trajectory for their health and well-being during childhood and beyond. The experience of parenting also impacts parents themselves. For instance, parenting can enrich and give focus to parents' lives; generate stress or calm; and create any number of emotions, including feelings of happiness, sadness, fulfillment, and anger. Parenting of young children today takes place in the context of significant ongoing developments. These include: a rapidly growing body of science on early childhood, increases in funding for programs and services for families, changing demographics of the U.S. population, and greater diversity of family structure. Additionally, parenting is increasingly being shaped by technology and increased access to information about parenting. Parenting Matters identifies parenting knowledge, attitudes, and practices associated with positive developmental outcomes in children ages 0-8; universal/preventive and targeted strategies used in a variety of settings that have been effective with parents of young children and that support the identified knowledge, attitudes, and practices; and barriers to and facilitators for parents' use of practices that lead to healthy child outcomes as well as their participation in effective programs and services. This report makes recommendations directed at an array of stakeholders, for promoting the wide-scale adoption of effective programs and services for parents and on areas that warrant further research to inform policy and practice. It is meant to serve as a roadmap for the future of parenting policy, research, and practice in the United States.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children born today will live shorter lives than their parents and grandparents because of the obesity epidemic in America. Despite heightened awareness of the problem and advances in healthcare, present strategies are not working to reverse the trend. This book aims to honestly answer questions currently weighing on the minds of many parents: How can I prevent or reverse obesity in my child or adolescent? How do I ensure that my child will not become obese during his or her lifetime? Written by a registered dietitian and mother, The Poisoning of Our Children contains practical advice that can be incorporated into a family's daily life immediately. Based on credible research, it gives parents the knowledge and tools they need for raising healthy children from the start. And it provides pediatricians and health professionals with the evidence they need when working with families. This book goes beyond the obvious problems of unhealthy eating and lack of physical activity; it closely examines the roles of modern-day American culture and lifestyle habits. Rather than offering a list of "do's" and "don'ts," the emphasis is on developing healthy habits to last a lifetime.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present study investigated several pathways of a new theoretical model for understanding how parents engage in health behavior change related to their child’s health. Specifically, the present study examined the independent effects of parents’ nutrition knowledge, stress and child body mass index on parents’ intentions to change their child’s dietary intake and physical activity, through a mediating factor, the ability to enact change (i.e., self-efficacy, self-control, support from coparent), that may explain the relationship between nutrition knowledge and stress on parents’ intentions. In addition, parents’ feeding style (e.g., authoritative vs authoritarian) was examined as a moderator of the relationship between parents’ ability to enact change and their intentions. Participants were a sample of 329 parents (M [subscript age] = 33.84, SD [subscript age] = 5.68) of children ages 3 to 8 years. Results from a path analysis in a structural equation modeling framework indicate that parents’ stress negatively affects perceptions of their ability to enact change but positively influences their intentions to change their child’s physical activity levels. Moreover, parents with an overweight or obese child were more inclined to have intentions to change their child’s dietary intake and physical activity levels. Nutrition knowledge was largely unrelated to the constructs of interest. No significant indirect effects emerged using parents’ ability to enact change and moderation analyses revealed no difference in the strength of the relationship between parents’ ability to enact change and their intentions by parents’ feeding style. These findings suggest that contextual factors, such as parents’ perceived stress, is an important factor to consider to understand parents perceived abilities as well as their intentions to change

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Parental Perceptions of Body Mass Index and Obesity in School Age Children Background: Childhood obesity research focuses on causes and complications. Gaps exist related to parental perceptions of BMI as a screening tool for obesity, receipt of BMI information, and the school's role in the collection and distribution of BMI data. Objectives: To determine: (a) parental perceptions regarding the causes of obesity and use of BMI as a screening tool for obesity; (b) preference for method of receipt of BMI information; and (c) parental perceptions of the school's role in prevention and treatment of childhood obesity. Method: This cross sectional, descriptive study used convenience sampling. Participants were parents of elementary school age children attending a suburban school. An anonymous survey "Parental perceptions of Body Mass Index and obesity in the school age child" was adapted from a previously used instrument. The survey and attached introductory letter were placed in the mail folders of all children attending the latchkey program. Parents returned the survey to a sealed box at the site. Results: Of the 507 surveys distributed and received by parents, 117 surveys were returned, yielding a 23% response rate. Participants were typically female, 40 years old or younger, white, had two school age children, and a college graduate with a BMI between 17.8 and 24.9 kg/m2. Parents in this study who were male and had lower educational status had significantly higher BMIs. The majority of participants identified inactivity, poor eating behavior, lack of parental control in what children eat, and eating too much as the main causes of childhood obesity. The preferred method of receiving information about their child's BMI from the school was via a letter from the school nurse (67.5%). Parents agreed that physical education classes should be present in schools (99.1%) as well as units on nutrition and weight control (82.8%). Parents also supported eliminating junk food machines and offering special low calorie meals. Conclusions: Parents demonstrated support for school intervention in the obesity epidemic. School and public health nurses can use this information to advocate for physical education classes, health curriculum on nutrition and weight control, reducing the amount of junk food that is available, and offering special low calorie meals. Furthermore, school nurses should focus on the parents' desire to receive their child's BMI information in a letter from the nurse. Forming a parent/school nurse/administrator group to draft an appropriate letter may increase acceptance. Additional research should be conducted which addresses the outcomes of sending such letters home. School and public health nurses are in a prime position to collect data in their school districts to determine parental preferences and beliefs regarding BMI and childhood obesity.
