Guidelines for Childhood Obesity Prevention Programs: Promoting Healthy Weight in Children

Developed by the Weight Realities Division, Society for Nutrition Education (SNE), to assist obesity prevention planning groups.

The Guidelines encourage a health-centered approach that focuses on health and well-being for the whole child, not weight. They emphasize healthy eating and physical activity for all children in a nurturing environment. They explain how to deal with the interrelatedness of weight and eating problems in comprehensive ways that do not harm individual children.
