ChildD - Child Health in Life and Disease Dietetics
About
At ChildD, we are passionate about good health, especially in kids. Our aim is to provide advice and support for parents so that kids can grow and thrive on being the very best they can be. We give parents the confidence to know what nutrition is best for their individual child and offer practical support to achieve it.
No family is the same, no child is the same, and therefore there is not 'one' diet that suits every child. We use evidence-based practice to help guide our recommendations. But we make it easy to understand and achievable.
As parents ourselves, we recognise that food is a social and family affair, and any goal needs to be manageable and sustainable.
Approach: Practical, evidence-based, family-centred; recognises the real-world challenges of family life; supportive and committed; personal experience as parents informs their approach
Weight Loss Approach
Evidence-based, family-centred approach focused on sustainable and manageable goals. Recognises food is a social and family affair. Paediatric-specific - focused on healthy weight in children and adolescents, not adult weight loss.
