Trim Kids

Trim Kids is a 12-week plan that gives parents and their children, ages 6-18, a healthy foundation for lifetime weight and physical activity management.

Parents and children practice ways of increasing their daily activity and learning how to plan daily menus with nutritious kid-tested recipies.

Psychological issues like peer pressure, bullying, and self-esteem are discussed in a confidential, supportive group environment.

TRIM KIDS POSITIVELY IMPACTS THE FOLLOWING:

  • Attitude - increase self-esteem and confidence
  • Awareness - increase understanding of nutrition, fitness and impact of making healthy lifestyle choices
  • Behavior Change - increase physical activity and improve eating habits
  • Knowledge - increase knowledge of proper nutrition and exercise
  • Skills - learn fun activites to teach family and friends
