A recent issue of the Canadian Medical Association Journal contained
a short article about how to approach the issue of obesity in a young child.
In the article was a list of online resources that I thought would be
useful to share:
A Health Professional's Guide for Using the New WHO Growth Charts
Is My Child Growing Well? Questions and Answers for Parents
NutriSTEP--Nutrition Screening Tool for Every Preschooler
Canadian Paediatric Society on child obesity
Caring for Kids--information for parents from Canada's pediatricians
Canadian Physical Activity Guidelines and Canadian Sedentary Behaviour Guidelines (by age group)
Canadian Obesity Network--pediatrics page
Summary report of expert committee recommendations on prevention, assessment and
treatment of child and adolescent overweight and obesity
