The Overweight Child: Promoting Fitness and Self-Esteem
Teresa Pitman, Miriam Kaufman

Firefly Books, 2000

Children, like adults, come in all shapes and sizes. Some are short, some are tall, some are thin and some are not. Because of society's obsession with thinness, being larger-than-average is difficult for youth.

Best thing that happened to me after I was dignosed at 14
This was probably the best thing hat happened to me just after I was diagnosed with a chronic illness in 2002, at 14. There are no empty words - like "You can't let the disease rule your life" or "It doesn't have to define who you are"- which is exactly the last thing a scared, angry and sad teenager needs. On the contrary, the book shows how much your life may change, that sometimes it won't be ...

Cleis Press, 2007

A great resource!
I think this is an amazing resource to really get people thinking about themselves as sexual beings. It encompasses a wide range of sexual options and also gives good information about sex-related topics (such as communication). I especially appreciate that this book isn't about a specific disability or illness, and it recognizes the ways in which disabilities can be enabling during sex as well. ...

The book includes tips on getting the family involved in healthy activities, how to allow your child to express their feelings without criticism, and how to overcome obstacles in the classroom, organized sports, and with friends - and how labelling a child can be harmful - overweight is a condition your ...
