Parent training can help kids to slim down

After law enforcement applied to these nutritional child abusers, parent training is the only way to help kids slim down or, better yet, not get fat in the first place.
"A weight loss intervention directed at parents of overweight children may be as effective as interventions directed at both parents and children, study findings suggest.

Over 10 months, children younger than 11 years fared better in the parent-only program, while older children lost more weight through the family-based program, report Dr. David M. Janicke, of the University of Florida in Gainesville, and colleagues.

'Parents exert an enormous influence on their children,' Janicke told Reuters Health. Providing a means for parents to help children adopt healthier lifestyles 'is critical to helping improve health and weight status in children," he said."
But with no resolve to punish parents for abusing their kids, there is no incentive for parents to do the right thing.

And so the abuse goes on.
