About KidShape
| The KidShape Foundation is a non-profit organization committed
to building healthy families. KidShape provides training, materials,
curriculum updates, and technical support to organizations implementing
KidShape programs.
KidShape supports parents who want to make healthy lifestyle changes
for their families. Many parents need assistance to help their
children lose weight and be healthy. Obese children can face health
problems that had been seen primarily in adults, including type 2
diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol. And many children can
suffer from depression, low self-esteem, and isolation after being teased
because of their weight. KidShape can help! |

| KidShape teaches the entire family how
to eat nutritiously, make exercise a fun part of the daily routine, form
new healthy habits, and promote a positive self-image, regardless of size.
The program is designed for families with children, ages 6 to14. A
team of health experts, including a registered dietitian, mental health
professional, physical activity expert, and health educator, administers
each program. |

The family-based KidShape programs incorporate hands-on activities to empower
youth and adults to eat healthier, move more, and feel good.
