The first of its kind in Southern Oregon, the GO KIDS! Program can be implemented for groups or individuals. GO KIDS! is modeled after the proven effective, fun and positive program, ’Trim Kids’ by Dr. Melinda Sothern, Director of the Prevention of Childhood Obesity Laboratory at the Pennington Biomedical Research Center at Louisiana State University.
GO KIDS! promotes healthy weight in children for kids aged 5 to 14 years. GO KIDS! helps children learn habits of physical activity, nutritious eating and esteem builders to have a healthy body weight and healthy body image.
This program is based on recommendations of the American Academy of Pediatrics, the National Academy of Sports Medicine and the American Dietetic Association. It is POSITIVE and FUN!
GO KIDS! was created by Julie Kokinakes Anderson, registered dietitian in private practice, owner of Nutrition Solutions by Julie and certified in Childhood and Adolescent Weight Management.
