 Course Description Are you one of those parents who constantly worry about your child's weight? Are you unsure about the kind of help and support an overweight child needs? Or are you looking for ways to prevent your child from gaining excess weight? Whichever the case, this course will provide the information and support you need.
This course uses a two-sided approach. First, we want to offer help to any parents out there who already have overweight children and want to help them get healthy and slim down safely. We also want this course to serve as a resource for all parents concerned with healthy eating habits, exercise, and everyday issues to prevent childhood obesity. For that reason, the first half of this course is geared to those parents currently battling the weight problem with their children (or any child for that matter). The second half goes through the stages of a child's life, from infancy through adolescence, and gives you information, tips, and instruction to help keep your child healthy and within a normal weight range. If your child is currently overweight, this part will provide you with ideas for healthy eating habits and activities. This course will also help you identify what you need to do now and down the road to help your child lose weight and stay healthy. We'll go over the checkpoints you'll pass along the way, and every twist and turn that you may face up ahead. Not only will this course explain childhood obesity to you, it will help you conquer it with your child. Just remember, however, that this course should never replace the expert of advice of a doctor, dietician, or otherwise qualified healthcare professional. The purpose of this course is education and awareness. It's the first step in understanding and conquering the childhood obesity epidemic. With that said, welcome to the course. Course Lessons |  | Lesson 1: IntroductionThis course is going to address the topic of childhood obesity and give you some of the help you need. But before we delve in, there are a few more things we need to discuss that you will find to be a huge help with your child. | Lesson 2: The Childhood Obesity EpidemicIf you take a few minutes to watch children on the playground or observe some of your child's classmates at school, you'll most likely notice at least a few kids who are overweight, if not obese. | Lesson 3: Nutrition and Your Child's HealthWhenever anyone talks about losing weight, they talk about eating less food. Perhaps society has conditioned us that way. | Lesson 4: Physical ActivityParents say it all the time, and it's very close to being the truth. When we were young, we played outside. | Lesson 5: ConsistencyThis and the next lesson in this course are written to help you with this challenge and to try to make it all not so overwhelming for you. | Lesson 6: Your Parenting Style and ChallengesIn this lesson, we're going to discuss the challenges you may face with your child. | Lesson 7: Getting Your Child Back to Good Health This lesson will focus on the importance of planning before starting. | Lesson 8: Pregnancy and Your Child's First YearThis lesson will begin to discuss that there are also steps we can take as parents as our kids are growing to prevent obesity. | Lesson 9: The Toddler and Preschool YearsAs your baby grows into a toddler, it may become easier to know when your child is hungry or full, so you won't be second guessing yourself nearly as much and wonder if you're overfeeding or not. | Lesson 10: The School and Adolescent YearsBy the time your child reaches five, they are growing in more ways than you can imagine. | Lesson 11: If Problems AriseIn this lesson, we've taken the time to talk about some of the more common problems you may face, as well as solutions. |
