Comment: From The Critics
Library Journal
While many manuals address how to help children combat weight problems through diet, exercise, and family lifestyle changes, none has tackled in-depth their emotional lives until now. Child psychologist Rimm (See Jane Win) compiles results from her national survey of middle-school children, personal interviews, case studies, and other international research to help readers understand the psychological well-being of overweight children. After demonstrating the extent of this public health epidemic, Rimm outlines how these children feel about their poor social interactions, low school achievement, lack of athletic prowess, and troubling family relationships. In many ways, the results are not profound. Still, addressing the emotional aspects of this issue is paramount to the future of these children and to the future of American public health (as discussed in Chapter 2). Drawing on her findings, Rimm provides an important six-step rescue plan to guide parents in helping their overweight children overcome discrimination and acquire a healthier lifestyle that will lead to greater achievement and higher personal expectations. Strongly recommended for all libraries;
