isabella How is one supposed to motivate an obese child if the parents are not good examples? A boy age 10 is 200 lbs, at 5'0 tall. This is very upsetting because the parents don't watch what he eats. Isn't this child abuse in some way? Help! 8/18/2006
Mary French Thanks a ton for having this awesome program for children. In May I took my FitKids (5th & 6th graders) to Sport's Authority in Woodridge, IL & we had a blast. Since I'm an educator & fitness nut I just love to see these kind of programs. Of course I'm running a summer FitKids program & hope to take this group back to Sport's Authority, so I will call for an appointment. Thanks again & I hope you continue this cool program. 6/30/2003
