In real life, weight loss camps have sprung up around the country. These camps are successfully touching all aspects of wellness including nutrition education, fitness, behavioral change, and family involvement. Kids are being motivated to continue on with their weight loss and/or healthy behavior even after they leave the camp. That is true success!
One camp makes a contract with the child and the parent where they tell the parents to “no longer take the responsibility,” making the child fully accountable for their life. How about a parent's camp on how to teach your kids healthy habits from the beginning? After all, children learn by example.
