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.
The City Council of Liverpool in Great Britain may outlaw the word "obese" as a word to describe children.
The council will use the term "unhealthy weight" in literature aimed at children because the word "obese has too many negative connotations" and may even discourage children from changing their habits, various news reports indicated.
At almost 50 percent, Liverpool has the highest rate of childhood obesity in Great Britain.
