Let’s talk about weight

Clinician's guide to healthy kids

Measuring growth in children is an important part of a health check-up, as it enables early recognition of unhealthy weight trends. It can also enable regular discussions around healthy behaviours. Feeling comfortable to integrate routine growth assessments into clinical practice can feel routine, but what do you do with these measurements once you have them? In this episode, host Dr. Sam Manger and guest Dr. Danielle Carter discuss how to navigate those conversations with empathy and practical solutions.
