Helping your child grow up healthy, confident, and strong shouldn’t be confusing or guilt-ridden. Yet in today’s world of oversized portions, sedentary lifestyles, and endless screen time, many parents feel overwhelmed when it comes to nurturing their child’s well-being—especially around weight, body image, and health habits. That’s where Obesity: Nurturing Healthy Habits steps in.

Written with compassion and backed by evidence-based guidance, this empowering book offers parents, carers, and educators a friendly roadmap to supporting children in developing habits that foster lifelong wellness—without shame, pressure, or negativity. Forget strict diets or rigid exercise routines. This is about small, realistic changes that make a big difference.

In clear, accessible language, Marcus Raithe helps you understand:

• What healthy growth actually looks like across different ages
• Why BMI isn't the whole story—and what matters more
• How to create positive, joyful food experiences without fear or fuss
• Why hydration, sleep, and movement matter just as much as meals
• How screen time affects physical and emotional well-being—and what to do about it
• How to encourage active play in a fun, sustainable way
• Why kids look to adults as role models—and how to lead by example
• How to cultivate body confidence and kindness from an early age

Inside, you’ll find tips, encouragement, and down-to-earth strategies for creating a home environment that supports health, happiness, and self-esteem. You’ll also learn how to spot the unhelpful patterns that often sneak in—like emotional eating, food bribery, or sleep disruptions—and how to replace them with tools that build long-term resilience.
