Weight loss for 9 year old

[Guest guest]

What are your best recommendations for a parent of a child that is 9 years old

and just slightly over weight but wanting to take it off.

It isn't the parents that are worried about it but the child. She even on her

own started a food journal.

Any good websites, books, etc... that I can refer them to that would be for

either the parent OR child? This is not a patient or client of mine just someone

that asked for a little advice and I am trying to send them in the right

direction. Her mother is actually a family physician and was wondering what

might be out there if anything to help them out a bit!

Thanks,
