Tier 3 Paediatric Weight Management

Publication

We are working in partnership with the Lighthouse Children and Young People’s Weight Management Service, Swansea Bay UBH to develop a range of resources providing holistic support for children and young people (and their parents/carers). The resources aim to support children and young people to reach and maintain a healthier weight through behaviour change.

The 3 new resources aim to support behaviour change for physical health, emotional wellbeing and positive eating behaviours.

Resources in development include:

• Talking to Your Child About Weight - aims to increase children, young people and their family’s awareness of weight stigma and support them to manage this within the family system. The resource will help support positive communication and increased awareness. 
• Getting Present with Food (mindful eating) - to support children and young people to improve their relationship with food and enhance the eating experience.
• A Traffic Light Approach - to support children, young people and their family to achieve healthy weight management by reducing energy density, and including nutrient rich foods to help them meet nutritional requirements for healthy growth and development.

Resources coming soon! Have a look at the resource covers below and find out more about each resource on the product pages:
