Weight Management Support for Children: Online Programs & Resources

Question
Hi Laura,
I live in Binghamton and came across your website.  My dsughter is 9 y/o and  has always been a chunky kid.  Her pediatrician keeps telling me not to worry about it but I think that's being negligent.  I'm wondering if you do any personal consulting or if you just do the online weightloss program.  Thanks.  ~Amy

Answer
Sorry, I do not do personal consultations. If she's just a little chunky; cut out her carb snacks like cookies, crackers, excess juice, and limit meals that contain mac and cheese, excess pasta, bagels etc. Try to get her to walk for at least 30 min everyday or do Wii fit. She should lose a few pounds the first month. Hope that helps, Laura Kraemer,Slimkids.com
