Weight/health management for kids is about leading by example. Interview with Dr Sheila Carroll

Send us a text This week I am delighted to be joined by Sheila Carroll MD Dr. Sheila Carroll is a board-certified pediatrican and obesity medicine physician who is dedicated to helping children achieve their best health. She does this by working exclusively with parents who are willing to focus on modifying their own behaviors to ultimately improve their child's health. I absolutely LOVE her approach to helping kids get healthier because she focusses on what the parent can do for the child and the example the parent sets rather than blaming the child or making the child change their behaviours in the agressive way most medical providers do these day.. We talk about many things including why children's behaviour starts with the parents. How parents have to be the drivers of change that they want to see in their children. Your child does not need to see a doctor when you're concerned about their weight, YOU and your partner need to. Why modern society is geared towards unhealthy children. The importance of sleep, exercise and relaxation on health. Only by leading by example will you have a realistic chance of improving your child's health. How the traditional "just feed him less" approach does not work int he long run. And how the approach Dr Carroll uses is MUCH more friendly and supportive to the child than most medical professionals. And here's a lovely little freebie for listeners.
