Almost a quarter (22.1%) of children aged 4-5 years and over a third (33.6%) of children aged years are overweight or very overweight.

What do we see as healthy

Possible health consequences

How to raise the issue - Adults These are the kind of open questions that might be asked to adults Are you worried about your weight Are you worried about your health and how your lifestyle might be affecting this Do you have difficulties getting about or doing activities you want to because of your weight or because of health problems you might have Do you feel low in mood, or suffer from low self esteem because of your weight

How to raise the issue Studies have shown that parents often have an incorrect perception of their child's weight. [ Doolen J, Alpert PT, Miller SK; Parental disconnect between perceived and actual weight status of children: a metasynthesis of the current research. J Am Acad Nurse Pract Mar;21(3): doi: /j x. Doolen J, Alpert PT, Miller SK "Puppy fat" is a common excuse. Endocrine causes for childhood obesity are rare. It is worth stressing that obesity is a clinical term with health implications rather than just the way somebody looks.

How to raise the issue The issue may be raised: 1. If the family expresses concern about the child's weight. Try: "We can measure [child's] weight and see if he or she is overweight for his or her age.“ 2. If the child has weight-related comorbidities. Try: "[Condition] can sometimes be related to a child's weight. I think we should check [child's] weight.“ 3. If the child is visibly overweight. Try: "I see more children these days who are a little overweight. Could we check [child's] weight?"

How to raise the issue- This may be the first time that weight has been raised with the family. It is a time to be reassuring and supportive. "By taking action now, we have a chance to improve [child's] health in the future.“ It can be a delicate issue to raise with a parent and this may mark the (good or bad) start to a long therapeutic period.
