Few pediatricians, however, are equipped with the know-how to educate parents on ways to prevent obesity, or help with the complicated process of encouraging weight loss in an already obese child. Dr. Myung K. Park, MD, FAAP, FACC, a noted pediatric cardiologist, is on the cutting edge of pediatric obesity studies. In \u003ci\u003eHelping Your Overweight Child: A Do-It-Yourself Guide\u003c\/i\u003e, Park offers practical advice for concerned parents based on twenty years of experience studying the childhood obesity epidemic. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAs a pediatric cardiologist, Park long ago recognized the connection between lifetime heart health and healthy weight. In the 1990s, he founded one of the first clinics dedicated to the study of pediatric obesity, the Preventative Cardiology and Weight Management Clinic at the University of Texas Medical School, San Antonio. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eHelping Your Overweight Child\u003c\/i\u003e puts prevention and treatment in the hands of a child's family, negating the need for ineffective government programs or expensive private weight loss programs. The book notes the exact steps that Park would take if a parent brought a child to the clinic for treatment. Through education at the family level, \u003ci\u003eHelping Your Overweight Child\u003c\/i\u003e is a long overdue tool for proactive and empowered parents. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Faap Facc Myung K.
