We have frequent enquiries regarding this topic so the resources on child obesity mentioned below may be useful for many of you.
To start off with, here is a page of links to government reports, articles and websites, by the Child and Maternal Health Observatory (ChiMat). A number of publications and other resources can be found on the National Child Measurement Programme (NCMP) website; they are responsible for measuring the height and weight of around one million school children in England every year, providing a detailed picture of the prevalence of child obesity.
Other recent studies claim that parents often fail to spot obesity in their children and that sometimes parenting strategies can be inconsistent with the concerns that parents have for their children's health.
