Obesity
As a parent, you want to give your child a strong start on a healthy life. That’s why it’s so important to address a weight problem while your child is young. We see children who are younger than 18. Being overweight raises a child’s risk for diabetes, heart disease and other physical and emotional problems. At Lehigh Valley Health Network, our weight-loss specialists are specially educated to address your child’s individual weight-loss needs.
Your child will receive nutrition counseling specifically designed for children. A weight-loss specialist will make adjustments to your child’s diet to achieve healthy weight loss (one to two pounds per week). Your child also will learn good eating habits and ways to avoid the repeated failures he may have experienced while dieting.
