These guidelines, developed by the Weight Realities Division of the Society for Nutrition Education (SNE) went through a two-year process, encourage a health-centered approach, versus the traditional weight-centered model. They emphasize healthy eating and physical activity for all children in a nurturing environment, and explain how to deal with the interrelatedness of weight and eating problems in comprehensive ways that do no harm.
