Your Child or Teen's Weight Solution Starts With You
Most programs put the burden of change on your child. But kids and teens don't yet have the brain development to create and sustain healthy habits on their own — no matter how hard they try.
When parents go first, their child has the best chance to succeed.

I'm Dr. Sheila Carroll
Board-Certified Pediatrician, Obesity Medicine Diplomate, Certified Life and Weight Coach, and Mom.
I was a child with extra weight. And then a teen. And then an adult. And then the parent to a child with extra weight.
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
Every child deserves the freedom to just be a kid.
Your child or teen doesn't need a diet. They need real food, consistent sleep, daily movement, emotional regulation skills, and a home where healthy living is just what your family does.
I can show you how.
