Are you worried about your child's size? Here's why it may not be an issue

Do you ever find yourself comparing the size of your child with those of their classmates and worrying about their health? Just as you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, you can’t judge a person’s health solely by the way their body looks. In a new book, the author aims to offer a new model for assessing and addressing kids’ health. Kids with bodies either larger or smaller than average are at higher risk for psychological harm related to their size than their average-size counterparts. With a new school year ahead, kids with larger or smaller bodies face the potential for difficulties at school, but the adults who care for them have an opportunity to reset the family’s approach to health and size.
