Help Your Child or Teen Move Toward a Healthier Weight
Every child deserves the freedom to just be a kid. I help parents create a home environment that supports better health, a healthier weight, and a childhood less burdened by food rules, shame and struggle.
I'm Dr. Sheila Carroll - pediatrician, obesity medicine specialist, certified life and weight coach, and mom.
I was also a child with extra weight. And the parent to one.
So when I tell you that I understand what your family is going through - I mean that in ways that go far beyond my medical training.
I know what it feels like to be the child who feels ashamed and alone struggling with their weight.
And I also know what it feels like to be the parent, desperately searching for a way to help your child without shaming or harming them.
I built this parent coaching practice because I couldn't find that kind of help anywhere.
So I created the support I wish my parents had been offered - and the support that would have helped me as a parent, too.
WHAT THIS GUIDE OFFERS:
- Why real food — not less food — is the answer to your child or teen's weight struggle
- Why removing ultra-processed food from your home is the opposite of restriction
- How to create a food environment your child can thrive in — without constant power struggles, calorie counting, or shame
- Why your child pushes back when things change — and why that pushback is normal and not a sign to stop
