Weight-Inclusive Pediatric Healthcare: Everybody Deserves Health-Enhancing and Respectful Care, Starting with Kids
Copyright :
In a world that often fixates on numbers, it's time to shift the paradigm and explore a compassionate approach to children's weight, health, and well-being. Let’s explore the detrimental impact of weight stigma on children's self-esteem, mental health, and overall quality of life and delve into the transformative concept of weight-inclusive care for children. Break free from the limitations of conventional weight-focused approaches and challenge traditional definitions of health and explore the broader spectrum of well-being that encompasses physical, mental, and emotional aspects.
