A MUST READ FOR ALL WHO CARE FOR CHILDREN:
Inspiring and practical- Sharron Dalton's account of childhood obesity is a must read for anyone who cares about our future (our children). Adults who are struggling to help children in their care achieve a healthy weight and active lifestyle will find this book a valuable resource. As a health care professional working with overweight children for many years, I've found this book to be a thorough and practical guide for the treatment and prevention of childhood obesity. The personal burdens that overweight children bear is covered with depth and warmth. Dalton's kind and helpful tone guides you through each recommendation for change that will help to treat overweight children, and help prevent obesity in others. Reasonable steps to take for schools, governmental agencies, teachers and parents are provided in detail to inspire us and to help us get started in being a voice for the health of all of our children.
