Healthy Weight: Tips for Parents

The article I chose to read was very informative and will definately be useful for my final project. First off, I found it on the official CDC website, so I knew it was credible.
The article began by explaining why doctors have suddenly become so concerned about childhood obesity. They also listed examples of diseases that are caused or brought on by being overweight. I liked the way they explained this, because they listed physical as well as psychological affects on the children.
The rest of the article listed several healthy ways for a parent to keep an eye out for their child. This website was really helpful to me and I know it would be to any parent as well. I also liked how the article had several other helpful links posted at the end. This article/website not only informed me on the subject I am studying, but it also gave me an idea on how I should lay out my website in order to make it effective.
All in all, theis article was very helpful.
