Experts from The Children's Hospital have expressed their concerns and provided tips to help fight the battle of childhood obesity in a recent Yourhub.com article.

"Kids don't realize, and neither do parents, what an actual serving size looks like," said Marilyn Day, MS, RD, co-director of preventive programs at The Children's Hospital Heart Institute and coordinator of the SHAPEDOWN Clinic. "Serving sizes are much smaller than what some would suspect," she says.

Other Children's experts including Dr. Phil Zeitler and Dr. Stephen Daniels provide helpful tips for healthy lifestyles among children. They focus on healthy serving sizes, exercises and appropriate ways to talk to your children about healthy eating.
