We expect children to grow taller, not wider. But every day, kids are consuming sugar-laden sodas, supersized burgers, and huge restaurant portions -- just like their parents. Our children may face a lifetime of obesity if we don't do something now. This course will give you the tools you need to help your kids get their weight under control and develop healthy habits that can last a lifetime.

Join us here Tuesdays and Thursdays at 1 p.m. ET (10 a.m. PT) to meet other parents, share ideas, and ask questions of our course instructor, Rallie McAllister, MD, MPH, author of The Healthy Lunchbox: The Working Mom's Guide to Keeping You and Your Kids Trim. We've also invited a few special guests to spotlight some fitness and food topics you should look at more closely.
