Family Transitions Inc. promotes health and nutrition by engaging the children in sports and recreational activities that will help enhance their physical health, as well as educate the children in good eating habits to build up and strengthen their inner health as well.

According to a study conducted by the American Academy of Children & Adolescent Psychiatry (AACAP), "The problem of childhood obesity in the United States has grown considerably in recent years. Between 16 and 33 percent of children and adolescents are obese. Obesity is among the easiest medical conditions to recognize but most difficult to treat. Unhealthy weight gain due to poor diet and lack of exercise is responsible for over 300,000 deaths each year. The annual cost to society for obesity is estimated at nearly $100 billion. Overweight children are much more likely to become overweight adults unless they adopt and maintain healthier patterns of eating and exercise".

With the growing population of obesity in children as well as in adults, we want to help parents understand how important it is to promote a healthy lifestyle for them, as well as their children.
