Abstract
Treating obese children takes time, more time than most physicians can spare. A competent health professional can handle certain aspects of management. With some extra study, the office nurse might be ideal in this role. Except in severe cases, the goal of treatment is not dramatic weight reduction. Instead the child should grow up to his fatness, meanwhile receiving psychologic support and learning self-control.Keywords
