Best book for parents & kids with weight struggles!

I loved this book. Very clear and straight forward. What an encouragement to find the spiritual aspect of the weight loss struggle addressed here. Each chapter ends with a small prayer and Bible verse. It was during my time of going through this book that my daughter, age 11, suddenly became honestly interested in changing her habits to change her weight (miracle!). I really like the kids workbook at the end- great for introducing key concepts of the book to kids. I highly recommend this book!

Excellent

This book is a fantastic guideline for helping your kids learn how to listen to their bodies!!! I recommend it to anyone....even if you don't have kids!

Raising Fit Kids in a Fat WorldThis book is great! The authors give a balance of teaching children good nutrition and teaching them portion control. There is very good information for parents on how to teach the children and work with them on exercise, nutrition, and portions.
