Is there a right way to talk to children about their weight?

Expert Opinion: Dr. Malie Coyne

“The most important thing is to talk about health, not weight,”

“If children are young enough, it may not be necessary to say anything at all, but instead to make lifestyle changes. Model good eating and sleeping habits, more exercise and reduced screen time. A lot of weight issues are not just about food, but about not enough sleep and too much screen time.”
