Key features include: * an accessible guide to childhood obesity * chapter-by-chapter discussion points for use with Down Mount Kenya on a Tea Tray to encourage open and honest conversations about childhood obesity and its effects * strategies to support obese children and their families to sustain positive lifestyle changes.
