Childhood Obesity - Do you have an overweight child? We offer tips to help your child lose weight and get fit!

The My Overweight Child blog will help you keep informed about the latest research, findings, and resources available to parents of overweight or obese kids. There are many knowledgeable people working on the increasingly dire problem of childhood obesity - and we want to give parents a place where they can check in regularly to see the latest studies and tips available to help you help your child lose weight and maintain a healthy lifestyle.

We invite you to add your comments - if you have feedback for the blog, would like some specific topics covered, or you just want to share your experience as a parent dealing with childhood obesity.

Great Gifts For a Healthy Lifestyle

Stumped for a gift idea for a birthday? Tempted to get the latest game cube? Resist the temptation and get a gift that will encourage exercise.

For the child, get roller skates, softball and glove, a bicycle, or a kite. For the whole family, look for Frisbees, a volleyball and net or a croquet set. If it's a winter holiday, try snowshoes or skis.
