Child and Adolescent Nutrition

Child and teenage obesity is a problem that has  been around for some time. In the past, many pediatric providers and parents seemed to dismiss this as "he'll grow into his weight", or "he's just big boned". We now know this way of thinking was a mistake, and most pediatric providers, parents, and children are becoming more interested in identifying and treating this condition. We at Pediatric Associates feel this more aggressive approach is good and will ultimately benefit each and every child.
