For every parent who’s worried about their child’s weight or size, Kids Thrive at Every Size offers an approach to health that focuses on the whole child—not just the growth chart.

Kids Thrive at Every Size is a holistic, whole child approach to health—focusing on physical and emotional wellness—and empowers parents to create a positive culture of health and self-esteem in their kids, no matter their size.
