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:

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
