of
Overweight
& Obese Children

SALT LAKE CITY, Aug. 7, 2003-- Weight Loss For Children provides more than typical dietary
information; it delivers a complete program of online support
where parents can have difficult questions answered by an
expert Advisory Board of doctors, registered dieticians, and
exercise specialists.

As difficult as being overweight is for children, parents are equally victimized. |

While the comprehensive advice brings parents to the site for
the first time, it's the "Parents Only" Message Boards that
are making the site so popular. "The Message Boards are
wonderful," said Gina Gay, spokesperson for the site's
developer, Klein-Becker USA. "They are a place of compassion
and practical advice from a community of parents who have been
there and done that."
As difficult as being overweight is for children, parents are
equally victimized. Unfortunately, and all too often, people
don't blame a child for being overweight, they blame the
parents. Regardless of how cruel, unfair or misplaced the
blame may be, parents are judged harshly. "Through the
Message Boards, parents can seek
comfort from other parents who understand because they've
experienced the pain and embarrassment first hand," said Ms.
Gay.
"For all parents there are days when the stress is
overwhelming," said Dr. Nathalie Chevreau, Director of
Development for the website. "Parents of overweight children
need help at these times, and no one is better at giving
support than other parents who have experienced the same
challenges and frustrations, and are in the best position to
know what works and what doesn't. In other words, how to
succeed. That's why Weight Loss For Children was created --
to help children lose weight and give support to parents,
because the one thing we know for sure is that a successful
weight loss program for any child is truly a family affair." <End>
