Review
'The advice offered is quite rightly very practical and exudes empathy with the problems that parents face in dealing with the prevention and management of what has become a major threat to the future well-being of society. Although targeted at parents, there is much in this guide which is of equal benefit to health professionals. Judith Manson is to be congratulated on her ability to deliver so much information and practical advice and support in a mere 100 pages.' --Dr Waine OBE, FRCGP, FRCPath, Obesity News Review, National Obesity Forum.

'Child Obesity - A Parent's Guide by Judith Manson...is a useful guide offering strategies to help children maintain their ideal BMI.' --Junior magazine.
