Are you looking for a simple handout that summarizes recommendations on how to manage the weight of your pediatric patients? You’ve found it! (Spanish version included!)

Please note that this handout is part of the bundle: Pediatric Patient Educational Materials BUNDLE

Currently, it is very hard to find a handout with pictures and easy to read format from a reliable source summarizing how your pediatric patients can manage their weight. A lot of handouts nowadays are filled with too much information that parents can’t understand or it’s too long that they don’t even bother to read. This handout is simple, straightforward, and has LOTS of images!

Overview:

  • Summary of MyPlate recommendations: 50% of meals should come from fruits and non-starchy vegetables. 25% of meals should come from lean proteins. 25% of meals should come from whole grains.
  • Summary of recommendations for fats, which oil to use at home and avoiding foods with “partially hydrogenated oil” on the ingredient list.
  • Summary of limiting intake of refined carbohydrates and promoting intake of whole grains to increase fiber intake. 
  • Lastly, it has a quick summary of recommendations for exercises and examples of different activities the kiddos can do.

This handout can help provide guidance to parents, caregivers, and guardians to help their children maintain healthy weight. Healthy habits are the building blocks of lifelong well-being for children and teens. Eating nutritious foods and physical activity are important for growth and development and to prevent chronic health conditions such as diabetes and heart disease to say the least. They can also help boost students’ academic performance and support mental health.
