This guidebook, designed to be used alongside the storybook Down Mount Kenya on a Tea Tray, has been created to inform readers about the physical, social and psychological impacts of childhood obesity.

Created for busy parents, teachers and professionals, this book is founded upon recent research and written in an engaging and accessible style. Chapters explain the surprisingly complex causes of childhood obesity and highlight that children often have little control over the factors that may lead them to become obese. The physical and psychological consequences of obesity are explored and strategies suggested, ranging from individual and family support to changes that need to be made at a societal level to tackle this significant public health issue.

Key features include:

â¢ an accessible guide to childhood obesity

â¢ chapter-by-chapter discussion points for use with Down Mount Kenya on a Tea Tray to encourage open and honest conversations about childhood obesity and its effects

â¢ strategies to support obese children and their families to sustain positive lifestyle changes.

This is an essential resource for parents, teachers and other professionals looking to understand childhood obesity and support children aged 8-12.

Industry Reviews

"Childhood obesity is a complex, often emotionally charged topic which can be incredibly difficult to broach. The guide opens the conversation in a gentle, accessible yet thorough and well-evidenced way. It helps those keen to learn, but struggling to know where to start, understand and navigate this challenging and rapidly developing area of children's health and wellbeing. Thoroughly recommended."

Dr Kirsty Hunter MBBCh MRCGP
