Every day thousands of parents type 'causes of childhood obesity,''childhood obesity causes' or 'childhood obesity prevention' into search engines. It's an indication of the desperation parents feel around children and eating and their eagerness to find childhood obesity solutions that work.

And then I experimented with the childhood obesity prevention ideas I discovered to find which ones worked.

What I discovered surprised me - I think it'll surprise you as well.

These are only some of the causes of childhood obesity that I discuss in my book, along with a host of practical, sane, sensible and fun childhood obesity solutions.
