MY CHILD’S WEIGHT is a colorful, no-cost nutrition education program designed for parents and caregivers of pre-teens and teens from ages 10-14. It addresses parent concerns about their child’s body size, development, and weight changes. This distinctive nutrition education program, based on Ellyn Satter’s model of the Division of Responsibility in feeding children, is intended to help parents figure out what to do in the midst of a culture concerned about child obesity. It answers the questions: Should I be concerned? What should I do, and not do?
