Elkhart General hospital is introducing Shapedown, a nationally recognized weight management program designed for children ages 8 to 12 and their families.
Shapedown helps children feel better about themselves, learn how to be more active, have more outside interests, and eat in a healthy pleasurable way. It helps the parents understand how to support the child, be a good role model, and reduce family tension around the child’s weight and eating. It supports good communication skills between family members and encourages the parents to set appropriate limits for the child.
Elkhart General Registered Dietitians teach the program and work with both parents and children on lifestyle changes involving nutrition and physical activity.
Shapedown is comprised of 10 weekly group sessions and a plan for continuing progress.
Class size is limited and registration is required.
