Today, there are more than 14.4 million US children and teens that are affected by or have obesity. The OAC recognizes that childhood obesity can be a sensitive and complex topic to navigate, which is why we’ve developed a toolbox of resources to help children and families on their unique health journeys.
In recognition of National Childhood Obesity Awareness Month, we have put together a collection of valuable resources to help parents, caregivers, and children navigate the complex landscape of obesity. Here, you will find resources to help you understand the physical and emotional effects of childhood obesity as well as how to deal with the bullying and harassment that too often occurs.
Throughout the month of September, we’re making all of the following resources available to everyone free of cost, (but you can access them and much more year-round with a Premium Access Membership for only $25 per year). We encourage you to view and share these important OAC resources to learn more about childhood obesity and ways to promote health and wellness in our families.
